Girasol and Diaspore Chemical Formula

While comparing Girasol and Diaspore 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 Diaspore chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Girasol- SiO 2 · nH 2OWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)
  • Chemical formula of Diaspore- AlO(OH)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Girasol and Diaspore Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Girasol and Diaspore Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Girasol and Diaspore Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Girasol is 3.30-3.40 whereas that of Diaspore is 3.30-3.40.
