Diamond and Lepidolite Chemical Formula
While comparing Diamond and Lepidolite 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 Diamond and Lepidolite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Diamond- C
- Chemical formula of Lepidolite- Mg 3Si 4O 10(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Diamond and Lepidolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Diamond and Lepidolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Diamond and Lepidolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Diamond is 2.80-2.90 whereas that of Lepidolite is 2.80-2.90.
