Gibbsite and Uvarovite Chemical Formula

While comparing Gibbsite and Uvarovite 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 Uvarovite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Gibbsite- Al(OH)3
  • Chemical formula of Uvarovite- Ca 3Cr 2(SiO 4) 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Gibbsite and Uvarovite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gibbsite and Uvarovite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gibbsite and Uvarovite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gibbsite is 3.77 whereas that of Uvarovite is 3.77.
