Cerussite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Brown Gemstones gemstones, Cerussite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Cerussite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Cerussite 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. Cerussite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Cerussite cleavage is Good [110] and [021],and specific gravity of Cerussite is 6.46-6.57.

The physical properties of Cerussite, 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.
