Selenite and Trinitite Physical Properties

Selenite and Trinitite Chemical Formula

While comparing Selenite and Trinitite 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 Selenite and Trinitite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Selenite- CaSO4·2H2O
• Chemical formula of Trinitite- SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, FeO

Selenite and Trinitite Specific Gravity

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