Apatite and Plasma Physical Properties

Apatite and Plasma Chemical Formula

While comparing Apatite and Plasma 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 Apatite and Plasma chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Apatite- Ca 5(PO 4) 3(F,OH,Cl)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references
• Chemical formula of Plasma- Cu9(AsO4)2(OH)10

Apatite and Plasma Specific Gravity

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