Chondrodite and Chlorapatite Physical Properties

Chondrodite and Chlorapatite Chemical Formula

While comparing Chondrodite and Chlorapatite 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 Chondrodite and Chlorapatite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Chondrodite- (Mg,Fe) 5(SiO 4) 2(F,OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Chlorapatite- Ca 5(PO 4) 3ClAnthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Chondrodite and Chlorapatite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chondrodite and Chlorapatite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chondrodite and Chlorapatite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chondrodite is 3.17-3.18 whereas that of Chlorapatite is 3.17-3.18.
