Achroite and Diopside Chemical Formula

While comparing Achroite and Diopside 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 Achroite and Diopside chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Achroite- Na(Li 1.5Al 1.5)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012) Formula given for elbaite.
  • Chemical formula of Diopside- CaMgSi2O6

Achroite and Diopside Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Achroite and Diopside Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Achroite and Diopside Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Achroite is 3.22-3.40 whereas that of Diopside is 3.22-3.40.
