Bloodstone and Sugilite Chemical Formula

While comparing Bloodstone and Sugilite 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 Sugilite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Bloodstone- SiO2
  • Chemical formula of Sugilite- KNa 2(Fe3+ ,Mn3+ ,Al) 2Li 3Si 12O 30Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references

Bloodstone and Sugilite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Bloodstone and Sugilite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Bloodstone and Sugilite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Bloodstone is 2.69-2.79 whereas that of Sugilite is 2.69-2.79.
