Beryl and Sunstone Chemical Formula

While comparing Beryl and Sunstone 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 Beryl and Sunstone chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Beryl- Be3Al2Si6O18
  • Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi3O8 Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8

Beryl and Sunstone Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Beryl and Sunstone Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Beryl and Sunstone Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Beryl is 2.62-2.65 whereas that of Sunstone is 2.62-2.65.
