Copper and Spodumene Chemical Formula
While comparing Copper and Spodumene 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 Spodumene chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Copper- Cu
- Chemical formula of Spodumene- LiAlSi2O6
Copper and Spodumene Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Copper and Spodumene Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Copper and Spodumene Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Copper is 3.15-3.21 whereas that of Spodumene is 3.15-3.21.
