Shigaite and Morion Chemical Formula
While comparing Shigaite 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 Shigaite and Morion chemical formula.

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