Norbergite and Larvikite Physical Properties

Norbergite and Larvikite Chemical Formula

While comparing Norbergite and Larvikite 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 Larvikite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Norbergite- Mg 3(SiO 4)(F,OH) 2Anthony et al , Handbook of Mineralogy (2001)
• Chemical formula of Larvikite- (Na,Ca)2(Fe2+,Mg)3Si3O10

Norbergite and Larvikite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Norbergite and Larvikite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Norbergite and Larvikite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Norbergite is 2.59 whereas that of Larvikite is 2.59.
