Eudialyte and Jade Chemical Formula

While comparing Eudialyte 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 Eudialyte and Jade 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 Jade- Nephrite: Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2 Jadeite: NaAlSi2O6

Eudialyte and Jade Specific Gravity

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