Hibschite and Jade Chemical Formula

While comparing Hibschite and Jade 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 Hibschite and Jade chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Hibschite- Ca 3Al 2(SiO 4) 3-x(OH) 4x (x=0.2 to 1.5)Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
  • Chemical formula of Jade- Nephrite: Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2 Jadeite: NaAlSi2O6

Hibschite and Jade Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hibschite and Jade Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hibschite and Jade Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hibschite is 2.90-3.38 whereas that of Jade is 2.90-3.38.
