Brookite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Red Gemstones gemstones, Brookite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Brookite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Brookite 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. Brookite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Brookite cleavage is Poor on , in traces on ,and specific gravity of Brookite is 3.87-4.14.

The physical properties of Brookite, 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.
