Amber and Lepidolite Chemical Formula
While comparing Amber and Lepidolite 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 Lepidolite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]
- Chemical formula of Lepidolite- Mg 3Si 4O 10(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Amber and Lepidolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Lepidolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Lepidolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 2.80-2.90 whereas that of Lepidolite is 2.80-2.90.
