Sylvite and Magnetite Chemical Formula

While comparing Sylvite and Magnetite 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 Sylvite and Magnetite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Magnetite- Fe 3O 4Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Sylvite and Magnetite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sylvite and Magnetite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sylvite and Magnetite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sylvite is 5.2 whereas that of Magnetite is 5.2.
