Gaspeite and Thulite Chemical Formula

While comparing Gaspeite and Thulite 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 Thulite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Gaspeite- (Ni,Mg,Fe++)CO3
  • Chemical formula of Thulite- Ca2Al3(SiO4)3(OH)

Gaspeite and Thulite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gaspeite and Thulite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gaspeite and Thulite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gaspeite is 3.1 whereas that of Thulite is 3.1.
