Sapphire and Musgravite Chemical Formula
While comparing Sapphire and Musgravite 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 Sapphire and Musgravite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Sapphire- Al 2 O 3
- Chemical formula of Musgravite- (Mg,Fe,Zn)Al 6BeO 12Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Sapphire and Musgravite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sapphire and Musgravite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sapphire and Musgravite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sapphire is 3.62-3.68 whereas that of Musgravite is 3.62-3.68.
