When it comes to choosing the best pick among gemstones, Aegirine is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Aegirine include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Aegirine Optical Properties are responsible for imparting various physical properties to its structure. Knowledge of these properties is equally important to gem-cutters as well as to consumers. Aegirine cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Aegirine cleavage is Good on , (110) ^ (1 1 0) ≈87°; parting on ,and specific gravity of Aegirine is 3.50-3.60.
The physical properties of Aegirine, in fact, are imparted by the chemical composition of its individual molecule. The reactivity or inertness of the crystal is solely governed by its chemical structure. Chemical composition of Aegirine is represented by (Na,Fe,Ca)Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C..
