Gahnospinel and Girasol Chemical Formula

While comparing Gahnospinel and Girasol 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 Gahnospinel and Girasol chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Gahnospinel- (Mg,Zn)Al 2O 4Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)
  • Chemical formula of Girasol- SiO 2 · nH 2OWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Gahnospinel and Girasol Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gahnospinel and Girasol Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gahnospinel and Girasol Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gahnospinel is 1.98-2.50 whereas that of Girasol is 1.98-2.50.
