Humite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Yellow Gemstones gemstones, Humite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Humite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Humite 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. Humite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Humite cleavage is Poor,and specific gravity of Humite is 3.20-3.32.

The physical properties of Humite, 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 Humite is represented by (Mg,Fe2+ ) 7(SiO 4) 3(F,OH) 2Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001).
