Eudialyte and Spinel Chemical Formula

While comparing Eudialyte and Spinel 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 Spinel 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 Spinel- MgAl2O4

Eudialyte and Spinel Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Eudialyte and Spinel Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Eudialyte and Spinel Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Eudialyte is 3.64-3.66 whereas that of Spinel is 3.64-3.66.
