Sinhalite and Musgravite Chemical Formula
While comparing Sinhalite 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 Sinhalite and Musgravite chemical formula.

Sinhalite and Musgravite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sinhalite and Musgravite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sinhalite and Musgravite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sinhalite is 3.62-3.68 whereas that of Musgravite is 3.62-3.68.
