Copper and Clinochlore Chemical Formula

While comparing Copper and Clinochlore 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 Copper and Clinochlore chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Copper- Cu
  • Chemical formula of Clinochlore- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 5Al(Si 3Al)O 10(OH) 8Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Copper and Clinochlore Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Copper and Clinochlore Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Copper and Clinochlore Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Copper is 2.60-3.02 whereas that of Clinochlore is 2.60-3.02.
