Friedelite and Gibbsite Chemical Formula

While comparing Friedelite and Gibbsite 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 Friedelite and Gibbsite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Gibbsite- Al(OH)3

Friedelite and Gibbsite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Friedelite and Gibbsite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Friedelite and Gibbsite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Friedelite is 2.35 whereas that of Gibbsite is 2.35.
