Gyrolite and Chondrodite Chemical Formula

While comparing Gyrolite and Chondrodite 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 Chondrodite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Gyrolite- NaCa16Si23AlO60(OH)8•64(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Chondrodite- (Mg,Fe) 5(SiO 4) 2(F,OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Gyrolite and Chondrodite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gyrolite and Chondrodite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gyrolite and Chondrodite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gyrolite is 3.10-3.20 whereas that of Chondrodite is 3.10-3.20.
