Gibbsite and Padparadscha Chemical Formula
While comparing Gibbsite and Padparadscha 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 Padparadscha chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Gibbsite- Al(OH)3
- Chemical formula of Padparadscha- Al 2O 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Gibbsite and Padparadscha Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gibbsite and Padparadscha Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gibbsite and Padparadscha Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gibbsite is 3.95-4.10 whereas that of Padparadscha is 3.95-4.10.
