Augelite and Brucite Chemical Formula

While comparing Augelite and Brucite 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 Augelite and Brucite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Augelite- Al 2(PO 4)(OH) 3Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Brucite- Mg(OH) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Augelite and Brucite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Augelite and Brucite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Augelite and Brucite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Augelite is 2.39 whereas that of Brucite is 2.39.
