Goldstone and Andesine Chemical Formula
While comparing Goldstone and Andesine 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 Goldstone and Andesine chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Goldstone- Au
- Chemical formula of Andesine- (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8
Goldstone and Andesine Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Goldstone and Andesine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Goldstone and Andesine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Goldstone is 2.65-2.69 whereas that of Andesine is 2.65-2.69.
