Gaylussite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Yellow Gemstones gemstones, Gaylussite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Gaylussite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Gaylussite 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. Gaylussite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Gaylussite cleavage is perfect [110],and specific gravity of Gaylussite is 1.93-1.99.

The physical properties of Gaylussite, 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 Gaylussite is represented by Na2Ca(CO3)2•5(H2O).
