When it comes to choosing the best pick among Gems Found in USA gemstones, Californite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Californite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Californite 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. Californite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. and specific gravity of Californite is 3.32-3.47.
The physical properties of Californite, 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 Californite is represented by Ca 10Mg 2Al 4(SiO 4) 5(Si 2O 7) 2(OH) 4Ulrich Henn and Claudio C..
