Alexandrite and Jacobsite Chemical Formula

While comparing Alexandrite and Jacobsite 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 Alexandrite and Jacobsite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Alexandrite- BeAl 2 O 4
  • Chemical formula of Jacobsite- (Mn2+ ,Fe2+ ,Mg)(Fe3+ ,Mn3+ ) 2O 4Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Alexandrite and Jacobsite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Alexandrite and Jacobsite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Alexandrite and Jacobsite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Alexandrite is 4.76-5.03 whereas that of Jacobsite is 4.76-5.03.
