Chondrodite and Gibbsite Chemical Formula

While comparing Chondrodite and Gibbsite 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 Gibbsite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Chondrodite- (Mg,Fe) 5(SiO 4) 2(F,OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Gibbsite- Al(OH)3

Chondrodite and Gibbsite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chondrodite and Gibbsite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chondrodite and Gibbsite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chondrodite is 2.35 whereas that of Gibbsite is 2.35.
