Nuummite and Austinite Physical Properties

Nuummite and Austinite Chemical Formula

While comparing Nuummite and Austinite 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 Nuummite and Austinite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Nuummite- Na(Fe,Mg)7(AlSi7O22)(OH)2
• Chemical formula of Austinite- CaZn(AsO4)(OH)

Nuummite and Austinite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Nuummite and Austinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Nuummite and Austinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Nuummite is 4.12 whereas that of Austinite is 4.12.
