Gaylussite and Bronzite Chemical Formula
While comparing Gaylussite and Bronzite 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 Gaylussite and Bronzite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Gaylussite- Na2Ca(CO3)2•5(H2O)
- Chemical formula of Bronzite- (Mg,Fe) 2Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Gaylussite and Bronzite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gaylussite and Bronzite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gaylussite and Bronzite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gaylussite is 3.35 whereas that of Bronzite is 3.35.
