Uvite and Nuummite Chemical Formula
While comparing Uvite and Nuummite 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 Uvite and Nuummite chemical formula.

Uvite and Nuummite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Uvite and Nuummite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Uvite and Nuummite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Uvite is 3.18-3.37 whereas that of Nuummite is 3.18-3.37.
