Carnelian and Schorl Chemical Formula

While comparing Carnelian and Schorl 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 Carnelian and Schorl chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Carnelian- SiO2
  • Chemical formula of Schorl- Na(Fe2+3)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Carnelian and Schorl Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Carnelian and Schorl Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Carnelian and Schorl Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Carnelian is 3.18-3.22 whereas that of Schorl is 3.18-3.22.
