  • Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi3O8 Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8

Clinohedrite and Sunstone Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Clinohedrite and Sunstone Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Clinohedrite and Sunstone Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Clinohedrite is 2.62-2.65 whereas that of Sunstone is 2.62-2.65.
