Bloodstone and Dravite Chemical Formula

While comparing Bloodstone and Dravite 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 Bloodstone and Dravite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Bloodstone- SiO2
  • Chemical formula of Dravite- Na(Mg 3)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Bloodstone and Dravite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Bloodstone and Dravite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Bloodstone and Dravite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Bloodstone is 3.03-3.18 whereas that of Dravite is 3.03-3.18.
