Barite and Cryolite Physical Properties

Barite and Cryolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Barite and Cryolite 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 Barite and Cryolite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Barite- BaSO4
• Chemical formula of Cryolite- Na 3AlF 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Barite and Cryolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Barite and Cryolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Barite and Cryolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Barite is 2.97 whereas that of Cryolite is 2.97.
