- Chemical formula of Augelite- Al 2(PO 4)(OH) 3Michael OâDonoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
Emerald and Augelite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Emerald and Augelite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Emerald and Augelite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Emerald is 2.70-2.75 whereas that of Augelite is 2.70-2.75.
