Andesine and Coral Chemical Formula

While comparing Andesine and Coral 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 Andesine and Coral chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Andesine- (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8
  • Chemical formula of Coral- CaCO 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Andesine and Coral Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Andesine and Coral Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Andesine and Coral Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Andesine is 2.60-2.70 whereas that of Coral is 2.60-2.70.
