Chromite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Brown Gemstones gemstones, Chromite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Chromite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Chromite 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. Chromite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Chromite cleavage is None, parting may develop along ,and specific gravity of Chromite is 4.5-4.8.

The physical properties of Chromite, 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 Chromite is represented by Fe++Cr2O4.
