Amber and Norbergite Chemical Formula
While comparing Amber and Norbergite 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 Norbergite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]
- Chemical formula of Norbergite- Mg 3(SiO 4)(F,OH) 2Anthony et al , Handbook of Mineralogy (2001)
Amber and Norbergite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Norbergite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Norbergite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 3.177 whereas that of Norbergite is 3.177.
