Diopside and Rinkite Ce Chemical Formula
While comparing Diopside and Rinkite Ce 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 Diopside and Rinkite Ce chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Diopside- CaMgSi2O6
- Chemical formula of Rinkite Ce- (Ca,Ce) 4 Na(Na,Ca) 2 Ti(Si 2 O 7 ) 2 F 2 (O,F) 2 Michael O’Donoghue, Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
Diopside and Rinkite Ce Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Diopside and Rinkite Ce Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Diopside and Rinkite Ce Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Diopside is 3.29-3.33 whereas that of Rinkite Ce is 3.29-3.33.
