Glass and Wernerite Physical Properties

Glass and Wernerite Chemical Formula

While comparing Glass and Wernerite 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 Wernerite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Glass- SiO₂
• Chemical formula of Wernerite- Na 4(Al,Si) 12O 24Cl to Ca 4(Si,Al) 12O 24(CO 3,SO 4)Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Glass and Wernerite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Glass and Wernerite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Glass and Wernerite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Glass is 2.50-2.80 whereas that of Wernerite is 2.50-2.80.
