Parisite and Hibschite Physical Properties

Parisite and Hibschite Chemical Formula

While comparing Parisite and Hibschite 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 Parisite and Hibschite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Parisite- Ca(Nd,Ce,La) 2(CO 3) 3F 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Hibschite- Ca 3Al 2(SiO 4) 3-x(OH) 4x (x=0.2 to 1.5)Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Parisite and Hibschite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Parisite and Hibschite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Parisite and Hibschite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Parisite is 3.05-3.08 whereas that of Hibschite is 3.05-3.08.
