Goldstone and Malachite Chemical Formula
While comparing Goldstone and Malachite 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 Malachite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Goldstone- Au
- Chemical formula of Malachite- Cu2CO3(OH)2
Goldstone and Malachite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Goldstone and Malachite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Goldstone and Malachite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Goldstone is 3.25-4.10 whereas that of Malachite is 3.25-4.10.
