Fuchsite and Amber Physical Properties

Fuchsite and Amber Chemical Formula

While comparing Fuchsite and Amber 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 Fuchsite and Amber chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Fuchsite- K(Al,Cr) 3Si 3O 10(OH) 2Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)
• Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]

Fuchsite and Amber Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Fuchsite and Amber Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Fuchsite and Amber Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Fuchsite is 1.05-1.10 whereas that of Amber is 1.05-1.10.
