Amber and Londonite Chemical Formula
While comparing Amber and Londonite 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 Londonite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]
- Chemical formula of Londonite- (Cs,K,Rb)Al 4Be 4(B,Be) 12O 28Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
Amber and Londonite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Londonite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Londonite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 3.34 whereas that of Londonite is 3.34.
