Musgravite and Uvarovite Chemical Formula
While comparing Musgravite and Uvarovite 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 Uvarovite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Musgravite- (Mg,Fe,Zn)Al 6BeO 12Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
- Chemical formula of Uvarovite- Ca 3Cr 2(SiO 4) 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Musgravite and Uvarovite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Musgravite and Uvarovite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Musgravite and Uvarovite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Musgravite is 3.77 whereas that of Uvarovite is 3.77.
