Goshenite and Sunstone Chemical Formula

While comparing Goshenite and Sunstone 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 Goshenite and Sunstone chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Goshenite- Be3Al2SiO6
  • Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi3O8 Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8

Goshenite and Sunstone Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Goshenite and Sunstone Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Goshenite and Sunstone Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Goshenite is 2.62-2.65 whereas that of Sunstone is 2.62-2.65.
