Ajoite and Ekanite Chemical Formula

While comparing Ajoite and Ekanite 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 Ajoite and Ekanite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Ajoite- (K,Na)3Cu20Al3Si29O76(OH)16•~8(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Ekanite- ThCa 2Si 8O 20Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Ajoite and Ekanite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Ajoite and Ekanite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Ajoite and Ekanite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Ajoite is 3.28-3.32 whereas that of Ekanite is 3.28-3.32.
