Chondrodite and Jade Chemical Formula

While comparing Chondrodite and Jade 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 Jade chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Chondrodite- (Mg,Fe) 5(SiO 4) 2(F,OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Jade- Nephrite: Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2 Jadeite: NaAlSi2O6

Chondrodite and Jade Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chondrodite and Jade Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chondrodite and Jade Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chondrodite is 2.90-3.38 whereas that of Jade is 2.90-3.38.
