Girasol and Boleite Chemical Formula
While comparing Girasol and Boleite 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 Girasol and Boleite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Girasol- SiO 2 · nH 2OWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)
- Chemical formula of Boleite- Pb 26Ag 10Cu 24Cl 62(OH) 48 · 3H 2OWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references
Girasol and Boleite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Girasol and Boleite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Girasol and Boleite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Girasol is 5.05 whereas that of Boleite is 5.05.
