Ajoite and Schorl Chemical Formula

While comparing Ajoite and Schorl 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 Schorl chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Ajoite- (K,Na)3Cu20Al3Si29O76(OH)16•~8(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Schorl- Na(Fe2+3)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Ajoite and Schorl Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Ajoite and Schorl Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Ajoite and Schorl Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Ajoite is 3.18-3.22 whereas that of Schorl is 3.18-3.22.
