Hiddenite and Seraphinite Chemical Formula
While comparing Hiddenite and Seraphinite 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 Hiddenite and Seraphinite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Hiddenite- LiAlSi2O6
- Chemical formula of Seraphinite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 5Al(Si 3Al)O 10(OH) 8Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
Hiddenite and Seraphinite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hiddenite and Seraphinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hiddenite and Seraphinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hiddenite is 2.60-3.02 whereas that of Seraphinite is 2.60-3.02.
