Hauyne and Rubellite Chemical Formula

While comparing Hauyne and Rubellite 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 Rubellite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Hauyne- (Na,Ca)4-8Al6Si6(O,S)24(SO4,Cl)1-2
  • Chemical formula of Rubellite- Na(Li 1.5Al 1.5)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012) Formula given for elbaite.

Hauyne and Rubellite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hauyne and Rubellite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hauyne and Rubellite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hauyne is 3.01-3.06 whereas that of Rubellite is 3.01-3.06.
