Trinitite and Clinohumite Physical Properties

Trinitite and Clinohumite Chemical Formula

While comparing Trinitite and Clinohumite 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 Trinitite and Clinohumite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Trinitite- SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, FeO
• Chemical formula of Clinohumite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 9(SiO 4) 4(F,OH)) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references

Trinitite and Clinohumite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Trinitite and Clinohumite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Trinitite and Clinohumite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Trinitite is 3.13-3.75 whereas that of Clinohumite is 3.13-3.75.
