Amber and Kunzite Chemical Formula
While comparing Amber and Kunzite 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 Kunzite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]
- Chemical formula of Kunzite- LiAlSi2O6
Amber and Kunzite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Kunzite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Kunzite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 3.15-3.21 whereas that of Kunzite is 3.15-3.21.
