Ettringite and Plasma Physical Properties

Ettringite and Plasma Chemical Formula

While comparing Ettringite and Plasma 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 Ettringite and Plasma chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Ettringite- Ca 6Al 2(SO 4) 3(OH) 12 26H 2OMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
• Chemical formula of Plasma- Cu9(AsO4)2(OH)10

Ettringite and Plasma Specific Gravity

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