Chambersite and Variscite Physical Properties

Chambersite and Variscite Chemical Formula

While comparing Chambersite and Variscite 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 Variscite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Chambersite- Mn 3B 7O 13ClMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
• Chemical formula of Variscite- AlPO₄ · 2(H₂O)

Chambersite and Variscite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chambersite and Variscite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chambersite and Variscite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chambersite is 2.42-2.58 whereas that of Variscite is 2.42-2.58.
