Eudialyte and Omphacite Physical Properties

Eudialyte and Omphacite Chemical Formula

While comparing Eudialyte and Omphacite 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 Omphacite 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 Omphacite- (Ca,Na)(Mg,Fe,Al)Si 2O 6Anthony et al , Handbook of Mineralogy (2001)

Eudialyte and Omphacite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Eudialyte and Omphacite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Eudialyte and Omphacite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Eudialyte is 3.16-3.43 whereas that of Omphacite is 3.16-3.43.
