- Chemical formula of Hypersthene- (Fe,Mg) 2Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Rose Quartz and Hypersthene Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rose Quartz and Hypersthene Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rose Quartz and Hypersthene Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rose Quartz is 3.45-3.55 whereas that of Hypersthene is 3.45-3.55.
