Musgravite and Biotite Chemical Formula

While comparing Musgravite and Biotite physical properties, the important data you should know is its chemical composition. Since chemical formula defines the molecular structure of the crystal, most of the physical properties like color, tenacity, solubility are governed by Musgravite and Biotite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Musgravite- (Mg,Fe,Zn)Al 6BeO 12Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Biotite- K(Mg,Fe++)3[AlSi3O10(OH,F)2

Musgravite and Biotite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Musgravite and Biotite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Musgravite and Biotite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Musgravite is 2.7-3.3 whereas that of Biotite is 2.7-3.3.
