Rubellite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Blue Gemstones gemstones, Rubellite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Rubellite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Rubellite 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. Rubellite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Rubellite cleavage is Indiscernible,and specific gravity of Rubellite is 3.01-3.06.

The physical properties of Rubellite, 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 Rubellite is represented by Na(Li 1.5Al 1.5)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012) Formula given for elbaite..
