Chrysotile and Lazurite Chemical Formula

While comparing Chrysotile and Lazurite 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 Lazurite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Chrysotile- Mg 3(Si 2O 5)(OH) 4Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)
  • Chemical formula of Lazurite- (Na,Ca) 8Al 6Si 6O 24(SO 4,S,Cl) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Chrysotile and Lazurite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chrysotile and Lazurite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chrysotile and Lazurite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chrysotile is 2.75 whereas that of Lazurite is 2.75.
