Cryolite and Neptunite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cryolite and Neptunite 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 Cryolite and Neptunite chemical formula.

Cryolite and Neptunite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cryolite and Neptunite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cryolite and Neptunite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cryolite is 3.19-3.23 whereas that of Neptunite is 3.19-3.23.
