Beudantite and Actinolite Chemical Formula
While comparing Beudantite and Actinolite 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 Beudantite and Actinolite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Beudantite- PbFe+++3(AsO4)(SO4)(OH)6
- Chemical formula of Actinolite- Ca 2(Mg,Fe) 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Beudantite and Actinolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Beudantite and Actinolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Beudantite and Actinolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Beudantite is 3.00 whereas that of Actinolite is 3.00.
