Gyrolite and Biotite Chemical Formula

While comparing Gyrolite and Biotite 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 Gyrolite and Biotite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Gyrolite- NaCa16Si23AlO60(OH)8•64(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Biotite- K(Mg,Fe++)3[AlSi3O10(OH,F)2

Gyrolite and Biotite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gyrolite and Biotite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gyrolite and Biotite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gyrolite is 2.7-3.3 whereas that of Biotite is 2.7-3.3.
