Xenotime and Brucite Chemical Formula

While comparing Xenotime and Brucite 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 Xenotime and Brucite chemical formula.

Xenotime and Brucite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Xenotime and Brucite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Xenotime and Brucite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Xenotime is 2.39 whereas that of Brucite is 2.39.
