Biotite and Rhyolite Physical Properties

Biotite and Rhyolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Biotite and Rhyolite 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 Rhyolite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Biotite- K(Mg,Fe++)3[AlSi3O10(OH,F)2
• Chemical formula of Rhyolite- 70% SiO2, Al2O3, Na2O, K2O

Biotite and Rhyolite Specific Gravity

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