Chambersite and Glaucophane Chemical Formula

While comparing Chambersite and Glaucophane 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 Chambersite and Glaucophane chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Chambersite- Mn 3B 7O 13ClMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Glaucophane- [ ]Na2(Mg3Al2)Si8O22(OH)2

Chambersite and Glaucophane Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chambersite and Glaucophane Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chambersite and Glaucophane Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chambersite is 3-3.15 whereas that of Glaucophane is 3-3.15.
