Jade and Cubic Zirconia Chemical Formula

While comparing Jade and Cubic Zirconia 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 Jade and Cubic Zirconia chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Jade- Nephrite: Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2 Jadeite: NaAlSi2O6
  • Chemical formula of Cubic Zirconia- ZrO 2 + CaO or Y 2O 3 or MgOUlrich Henn and Claudio C.

Jade and Cubic Zirconia Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Jade and Cubic Zirconia Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Jade and Cubic Zirconia Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Jade is 5.50-6.00 whereas that of Cubic Zirconia is 5.50-6.00.
