Esperite and Jade Chemical Formula

While comparing Esperite and Jade 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 Esperite and Jade chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Esperite- PbCa 3Zn 4(SiO 4) 4Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
  • Chemical formula of Jade- Nephrite: Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2 Jadeite: NaAlSi2O6

Esperite and Jade Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Esperite and Jade Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Esperite and Jade Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Esperite is 2.90-3.38 whereas that of Jade is 2.90-3.38.
