Clinohumite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Yellow Gemstones gemstones, Clinohumite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Clinohumite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Clinohumite 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. Clinohumite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Clinohumite cleavage is Poor on ,and specific gravity of Clinohumite is 3.13-3.75.

The physical properties of Clinohumite, 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 Clinohumite is represented by (Mg,Fe2+ ) 9(SiO 4) 4(F,OH)) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references.
