Hauyne and Topazolite Chemical Formula
While comparing Hauyne and Topazolite 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 Topazolite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Hauyne- (Na,Ca)4-8Al6Si6(O,S)24(SO4,Cl)1-2
- Chemical formula of Topazolite- Ca 3Fe 2(SiO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
Hauyne and Topazolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hauyne and Topazolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hauyne and Topazolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hauyne is 3.70-4.10 whereas that of Topazolite is 3.70-4.10.
