Chrysotile and Cryolite Physical Properties

Chrysotile and Cryolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Chrysotile and Cryolite 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 Chrysotile and Cryolite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Chrysotile- Mg 3(Si 2O 5)(OH) 4Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)
• Chemical formula of Cryolite- Na 3AlF 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Chrysotile and Cryolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chrysotile and Cryolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chrysotile and Cryolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chrysotile is 2.97 whereas that of Cryolite is 2.97.
