Kunzite and Schorl Physical Properties

Kunzite and Schorl Chemical Formula

While comparing Kunzite and Schorl 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 Schorl chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Kunzite- LiAlSi₂O₆
• Chemical formula of Schorl- Na(Fe2+3)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Kunzite and Schorl Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Kunzite and Schorl Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Kunzite and Schorl Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Kunzite is 3.18-3.22 whereas that of Schorl is 3.18-3.22.
