Geodes and Triplite Physical Properties

Geodes and Triplite Chemical Formula

While comparing Geodes and Triplite 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 Geodes and Triplite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Geodes- -
• Chemical formula of Triplite- (Mn2+ ,Fe2+ ,Mg,Ca) 2(PO 4)(F,OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Geodes and Triplite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Geodes and Triplite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Geodes and Triplite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Geodes is 3.85-3.94 whereas that of Triplite is 3.85-3.94.
