Agate and Williamsite Chemical Formula

While comparing Agate and Williamsite 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 Agate and Williamsite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Agate- SiO2
  • Chemical formula of Williamsite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 3Si 2O 5(OH) 4Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Agate and Williamsite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Agate and Williamsite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Agate and Williamsite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Agate is 2.51-2.63 whereas that of Williamsite is 2.51-2.63.
