Wavellite Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Green Gemstones gemstones, Wavellite is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Wavellite include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Wavellite 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. Wavellite cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Wavellite cleavage is [110] perfect, [101] good, [010] distinct,and specific gravity of Wavellite is 2.36.

The physical properties of Wavellite, 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 Wavellite is represented by Al 3(PO 4) 2(OH,F) 3 · 5H 2OMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references.
