Tantalite and Magnetite Chemical Formula

While comparing Tantalite 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 Tantalite and Magnetite chemical formula.

Tantalite and Magnetite Specific Gravity

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