Iolite and Seraphinite Chemical Formula

While comparing Iolite 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 Iolite and Seraphinite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Iolite- Mg2Al4Si5O18
  • Chemical formula of Seraphinite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 5Al(Si 3Al)O 10(OH) 8Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Iolite and Seraphinite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Iolite and Seraphinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Iolite and Seraphinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Iolite is 2.60-3.02 whereas that of Seraphinite is 2.60-3.02.
