Amber and Cryolite Chemical Formula
While comparing Amber and Cryolite 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 Amber and Cryolite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]
- Chemical formula of Cryolite- Na 3AlF 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Amber and Cryolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Cryolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Cryolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 2.97 whereas that of Cryolite is 2.97.
