Norbergite and Dumortierite Physical Properties

Norbergite and Dumortierite Chemical Formula

While comparing Norbergite and Dumortierite 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 Norbergite and Dumortierite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Norbergite- Mg 3(SiO 4)(F,OH) 2Anthony et al , Handbook of Mineralogy (2001)
• Chemical formula of Dumortierite- AlAl₆O₃BSi₃O₁₈

Norbergite and Dumortierite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Norbergite and Dumortierite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Norbergite and Dumortierite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Norbergite is 3.26-3.41 whereas that of Dumortierite is 3.26-3.41.
