Carletonite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among White Gemstones gemstones, Carletonite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Carletonite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Carletonite 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. Carletonite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Carletonite cleavage is Perfect on , good on ,and specific gravity of Carletonite is 2.45.

The physical properties of Carletonite, 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 Carletonite is represented by KNa 4Ca 4Si 8O 18(CO 3) 4(OH,F) · H 2OMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006).
