Amber and Omphacite Chemical Formula
While comparing Amber and Omphacite 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 Omphacite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]
- Chemical formula of Omphacite- (Ca,Na)(Mg,Fe,Al)Si 2O 6Anthony et al , Handbook of Mineralogy (2001)
Amber and Omphacite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Omphacite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Omphacite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 3.16-3.43 whereas that of Omphacite is 3.16-3.43.
