Glass and Triplite Physical Properties

Glass and Triplite Chemical Formula

While comparing Glass and Triplite 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 Glass and Triplite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Glass- SiO₂
• Chemical formula of Triplite- (Mn2+ ,Fe2+ ,Mg,Ca) 2(PO 4)(F,OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Glass and Triplite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Glass and Triplite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Glass and Triplite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Glass is 3.85-3.94 whereas that of Triplite is 3.85-3.94.
