Pyrite and Morion Chemical Formula

While comparing Pyrite and Morion physical properties, the important data you should know is its chemical composition. Since chemical formula defines the molecular structure of the crystal, most of the physical properties like color, tenacity, solubility are governed by Pyrite and Morion chemical formula.

Pyrite and Morion Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrite and Morion Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrite and Morion Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrite is 2.65 whereas that of Morion is 2.65.
