Amazonite and Morion Chemical Formula
While comparing Amazonite and Morion 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 Amazonite and Morion chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Amazonite- KAlSi3O8
- Chemical formula of Morion- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Amazonite and Morion Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amazonite and Morion Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amazonite and Morion Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amazonite is 2.65 whereas that of Morion is 2.65.
