Beudantite and Pyrite Chemical Formula

While comparing Beudantite and Pyrite 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 Pyrite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Beudantite- PbFe+++3(AsO4)(SO4)(OH)6
  • Chemical formula of Pyrite- FeS 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references

Beudantite and Pyrite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Beudantite and Pyrite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Beudantite and Pyrite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Beudantite is 5.00-5.20 whereas that of Pyrite is 5.00-5.20.
