Beudantite and Citrine Chemical Formula
While comparing Beudantite and Citrine 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 Citrine chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Beudantite- PbFe+++3(AsO4)(SO4)(OH)6
- Chemical formula of Citrine- SiO2
Beudantite and Citrine Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Beudantite and Citrine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Beudantite and Citrine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Beudantite is 2.65 whereas that of Citrine is 2.65.
