Hexagonite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among gemstones, Hexagonite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Hexagonite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Hexagonite 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. Hexagonite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Hexagonite cleavage is [110] perfect; [010] distinct,and specific gravity of Hexagonite is 2.98-3.03.

The physical properties of Hexagonite, 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 Hexagonite is represented by Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C..
