Achroite and Jade Chemical Formula

While comparing Achroite and Jade 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 Jade 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 Jade- Nephrite: Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2 Jadeite: NaAlSi2O6

Achroite and Jade Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Achroite and Jade Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Achroite and Jade Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Achroite is 2.90-3.38 whereas that of Jade is 2.90-3.38.
