Bayldonite and Zircon Chemical Formula
While comparing Bayldonite and Zircon 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 Bayldonite and Zircon chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Bayldonite- (Cu,Zn)3Pb(AsO3OH)2(OH)2
- Chemical formula of Zircon- ZrSiO4
Bayldonite and Zircon Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Bayldonite and Zircon Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Bayldonite and Zircon Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Bayldonite is 3.93-4.73 whereas that of Zircon is 3.93-4.73.
