Gaspeite and Emerald Chemical Formula

While comparing Gaspeite and Emerald 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 Emerald chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Gaspeite- (Ni,Mg,Fe++)CO3
  • Chemical formula of Emerald- Be3Al2SiO6

Gaspeite and Emerald Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gaspeite and Emerald Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gaspeite and Emerald Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gaspeite is 2.67-2.78 whereas that of Emerald is 2.67-2.78.
