density sapphire
The density of sapphire is an important physical property. The density of sapphire is usually between 3.8 and 4.05 g/cm3, with an accuracy of up to 0.5%.
density sapphire
This is based on the properties of its main component, aluminum trioxide (Al₂O₃).
However, the density of sapphire may be affected by a number of factors such as its internal composition, structure and measurement conditions.
Therefore, in practice, it is necessary to combine hardness, refractive index, spectral characteristics, etc. to determine the authenticity and quality of sapphire. Depending on the source, the density of sapphire may vary slightly.
This may be due to the presence of the trace elements titanium (Ti) and iron (Fe) in sapphires, which can affect the color and density of sapphires.
Density is an important physical property in gemmology and is a useful reference when identifying and classifying sapphires.
