Kunzite and Vanadinite Chemical Formula
While comparing Kunzite and Vanadinite 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 Vanadinite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Kunzite- LiAlSi2O6
- Chemical formula of Vanadinite- C20H36
Kunzite and Vanadinite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Kunzite and Vanadinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Kunzite and Vanadinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Kunzite is 6.8-7.1 whereas that of Vanadinite is 6.8-7.1.
