Andesine and Schorl Chemical Formula

While comparing Andesine and Schorl 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 Schorl chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Andesine- (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8
  • Chemical formula of Schorl- Na(Fe2+3)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Andesine and Schorl Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Andesine and Schorl Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Andesine and Schorl Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Andesine is 3.18-3.22 whereas that of Schorl is 3.18-3.22.
