Gibbsite and Jasper Chemical Formula

While comparing Gibbsite and Jasper 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 Gibbsite and Jasper chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Gibbsite- Al(OH)3
  • Chemical formula of Jasper- SiO2

Gibbsite and Jasper Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gibbsite and Jasper Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gibbsite and Jasper Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gibbsite is 2.58-2.91 whereas that of Jasper is 2.58-2.91.
