Kunzite and Beudantite Chemical Formula
While comparing Kunzite and Beudantite 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 Kunzite and Beudantite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Kunzite- LiAlSi2O6
- Chemical formula of Beudantite- PbFe+++3(AsO4)(SO4)(OH)6
Kunzite and Beudantite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Kunzite and Beudantite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Kunzite and Beudantite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Kunzite is 4.48 whereas that of Beudantite is 4.48.
