Anorthoclase and Hauyne Chemical Formula

While comparing Anorthoclase and Hauyne 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 Anorthoclase and Hauyne chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Anorthoclase- (Na,K)AlSi 3O 8Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Hauyne- (Na,Ca)4-8Al6Si6(O,S)24(SO4,Cl)1-2

Anorthoclase and Hauyne Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Anorthoclase and Hauyne Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Anorthoclase and Hauyne Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Anorthoclase is 2.4-2.5 whereas that of Hauyne is 2.4-2.5.
