Amber and Gibbsite Chemical Formula

While comparing Amber and Gibbsite 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 Gibbsite chemical formula.

Amber and Gibbsite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Gibbsite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Gibbsite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 2.35 whereas that of Gibbsite is 2.35.
