Cryolite and Piemontite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cryolite and Piemontite 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 Piemontite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cryolite- Na 3AlF 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Piemontite- Ca2Al3(SiO4)(Si2O7)O(OH)

Cryolite and Piemontite Specific Gravity

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