Diamond and Verdelite Chemical Formula
While comparing Diamond and Verdelite 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 Verdelite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Diamond- C
- Chemical formula of Verdelite- Na(Li 1.5Al 1.5)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012) Formula given for elbaite.
Diamond and Verdelite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Diamond and Verdelite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Diamond and Verdelite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Diamond is 2.90-3.40 whereas that of Verdelite is 2.90-3.40.
