Chabazite and Sunstone Chemical Formula

While comparing Chabazite and Sunstone 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 Chabazite and Sunstone chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Chabazite- CaAl 2Si 4O 12 -6H 2OArthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
  • Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi3O8 Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8

Chabazite and Sunstone Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chabazite and Sunstone Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chabazite and Sunstone Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chabazite is 2.62-2.65 whereas that of Sunstone is 2.62-2.65.
