Iddingsite and Padparadscha Chemical Formula
While comparing Iddingsite and Padparadscha 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 Iddingsite and Padparadscha chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Iddingsite- MgO.Fe2O3.3SiO2•4(H2O)
- Chemical formula of Padparadscha- Al 2O 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Iddingsite and Padparadscha Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Iddingsite and Padparadscha Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Iddingsite and Padparadscha Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Iddingsite is 3.95-4.10 whereas that of Padparadscha is 3.95-4.10.
