Biotite and Agate Chemical Formula

While comparing Biotite and Agate 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 Biotite and Agate chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Biotite- K(Mg,Fe++)3[AlSi3O10(OH,F)2
  • Chemical formula of Agate- SiO2

Biotite and Agate Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Biotite and Agate Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Biotite and Agate Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Biotite is 2.60-2.64 whereas that of Agate is 2.60-2.64.
