Gaspeite and Adamite Physical Properties

Gaspeite and Adamite Chemical Formula

While comparing Gaspeite and Adamite 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 Gaspeite and Adamite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Gaspeite- (Ni,Mg,Fe++)CO3
• Chemical formula of Adamite- Zn 2(AsO 4)(OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth edition (2006)

Gaspeite and Adamite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gaspeite and Adamite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gaspeite and Adamite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gaspeite is 4.32-4.48 whereas that of Adamite is 4.32-4.48.
