Aragonite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Gems for Virgo gemstones, Aragonite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Aragonite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Aragonite 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. Aragonite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Aragonite cleavage is Distinct on , imperfect and ,and specific gravity of Aragonite is 2.93-2.96.

The physical properties of Aragonite, 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 Aragonite is represented by CaCO 3Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references.
