Bornite and Prasiolite Chemical Formula
While comparing Bornite and Prasiolite 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 Bornite and Prasiolite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Bornite- Cu5FeS4
- Chemical formula of Prasiolite- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Bornite and Prasiolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Bornite and Prasiolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Bornite and Prasiolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Bornite is 2.65 whereas that of Prasiolite is 2.65.
