Alexandrite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Gems for Scorpio gemstones, Alexandrite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Alexandrite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Alexandrite 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. Alexandrite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Alexandrite cleavage is 1,1 ; 3,2.,and specific gravity of Alexandrite is 3.69-3.81.

The physical properties of Alexandrite, 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 Alexandrite is represented by BeAl 2 O 4.
