Cryolite and Verdite Physical Properties

Cryolite and Verdite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cryolite and Verdite 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 Verdite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Cryolite- Na 3AlF 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Verdite- NaFeS2•2(H2O)

Cryolite and Verdite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cryolite and Verdite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cryolite and Verdite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cryolite is 2.80-3.0 whereas that of Verdite is 2.80-3.0.
