Chrysocolla and Diaspore Chemical Formula

While comparing Chrysocolla and Diaspore 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 Chrysocolla and Diaspore chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Chrysocolla- Cu2H2Si2O5(OH)4
  • Chemical formula of Diaspore- AlO(OH)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Chrysocolla and Diaspore Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chrysocolla and Diaspore Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chrysocolla and Diaspore Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chrysocolla is 3.30-3.40 whereas that of Diaspore is 3.30-3.40.
