Fluorapatite and Viridine Chemical Formula

While comparing Fluorapatite and Viridine 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 Fluorapatite and Viridine chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Fluorapatite- Ca 5(PO 4) 3FAnthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Fluorapatite and Viridine Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Fluorapatite and Viridine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Fluorapatite and Viridine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Fluorapatite is 3.05-3.21 whereas that of Viridine is 3.05-3.21.
