Amber and Wernerite Physical Properties

Amber and Wernerite Chemical Formula

While comparing Amber and Wernerite 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 Wernerite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]
• Chemical formula of Wernerite- Na 4(Al,Si) 12O 24Cl to Ca 4(Si,Al) 12O 24(CO 3,SO 4)Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Amber and Wernerite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Wernerite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Wernerite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 2.50-2.80 whereas that of Wernerite is 2.50-2.80.
