Eudialyte and Alexandrite Chemical Formula

While comparing Eudialyte and Alexandrite 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 Eudialyte and Alexandrite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Eudialyte- Na 4(Ca,Ce) 2(Fe,Mn,Y)ZrSi 8O 22(OH,Cl) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Alexandrite- BeAl 2 O 4

Eudialyte and Alexandrite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Eudialyte and Alexandrite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Eudialyte and Alexandrite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Eudialyte is 3.69-3.81 whereas that of Alexandrite is 3.69-3.81.
