Papagoite and Selenite Physical Properties

Papagoite and Selenite Chemical Formula

While comparing Papagoite and Selenite 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 Papagoite and Selenite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Papagoite- CaCuAlSi 2O 6(OH) 3Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
• Chemical formula of Selenite- CaSO4·2H2O

Papagoite and Selenite Specific Gravity

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