Beudantite and Brucite Chemical Formula

While comparing Beudantite 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 Beudantite and Brucite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Beudantite- PbFe+++3(AsO4)(SO4)(OH)6
  • Chemical formula of Brucite- Mg(OH) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Beudantite and Brucite Specific Gravity

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