Hauyne and Diaspore Chemical Formula

While comparing Hauyne and Diaspore 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 Hauyne and Diaspore chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Hauyne- (Na,Ca)4-8Al6Si6(O,S)24(SO4,Cl)1-2
  • Chemical formula of Diaspore- AlO(OH)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Hauyne and Diaspore Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hauyne and Diaspore Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hauyne and Diaspore Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hauyne is 3.30-3.40 whereas that of Diaspore is 3.30-3.40.
