Riebeckite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Blue Gemstones gemstones, Riebeckite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Riebeckite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Riebeckite 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. Riebeckite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Riebeckite cleavage is Perfect on , intersecting at 56° and 124°; partings on and ,and specific gravity of Riebeckite is 3.28-3.44.

The physical properties of Riebeckite, 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.
