Diamond and Nepheline Chemical Formula
While comparing Diamond and Nepheline 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 Nepheline chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Diamond- C
- Chemical formula of Nepheline- Na 3(Na,K)Al 4Si 4O 16Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Diamond and Nepheline Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Diamond and Nepheline Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Diamond and Nepheline Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Diamond is 2.55-2.65 whereas that of Nepheline is 2.55-2.65.
