Glaucophane and Anyolite Physical Properties

Glaucophane and Anyolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Glaucophane and Anyolite 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 Glaucophane and Anyolite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Glaucophane- [ ]Na2(Mg3Al2)Si8O22(OH)2
• Chemical formula of Anyolite- Ruby Zoisite: (Ca,Na)(Al,Mg,Fe)3Al6(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4

Glaucophane and Anyolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Glaucophane and Anyolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Glaucophane and Anyolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Glaucophane is 3.20-3.50 whereas that of Anyolite is 3.20-3.50.
