Enstatite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Yellow Gemstones gemstones, Enstatite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Enstatite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Enstatite 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. Enstatite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Enstatite cleavage is Good/distinct on [210],and specific gravity of Enstatite is 3.20-3.25.

The physical properties of Enstatite, 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 Enstatite is represented by Mg 2Si 2O 6Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references.
