Inderite and Sapphire Physical Properties

Inderite and Sapphire Chemical Formula

While comparing Inderite and Sapphire 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 Inderite and Sapphire chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Inderite- MgB 3O 3(OH) 5 · 5H 2OMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
• Chemical formula of Sapphire- Al ₂ O ₃

Inderite and Sapphire Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Inderite and Sapphire Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Inderite and Sapphire Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Inderite is 3.95-4.03 whereas that of Sapphire is 3.95-4.03.
