Chrysoberyl Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Green Gemstones gemstones, Chrysoberyl is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Chrysoberyl include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Chrysoberyl 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. Chrysoberyl cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Chrysoberyl cleavage is Distinct on , imperfect on , poor on ,and specific gravity of Chrysoberyl is 3.69-3.81.

The physical properties of Chrysoberyl, 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 Chrysoberyl is represented by BeAl 2 O 4.
