Blue quartz and Wernerite Physical Properties

Blue quartz and Wernerite Chemical Formula

While comparing Blue quartz and Wernerite 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 Blue quartz and Wernerite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Blue quartz- SiO2 with dumortierite
• Chemical formula of Wernerite- Na 4(Al,Si) 12O 24Cl to Ca 4(Si,Al) 12O 24(CO 3,SO 4)Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Blue quartz and Wernerite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Blue quartz and Wernerite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Blue quartz and Wernerite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Blue quartz is 2.50-2.80 whereas that of Wernerite is 2.50-2.80.
