Lepidocrocite and Wernerite Physical Properties

Lepidocrocite and Wernerite Chemical Formula

While comparing Lepidocrocite and Wernerite 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 Lepidocrocite and Wernerite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Lepidocrocite- FeO(OH)
• Chemical formula of Wernerite- Na 4(Al,Si) 12O 24Cl to Ca 4(Si,Al) 12O 24(CO 3,SO 4)Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Lepidocrocite and Wernerite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Lepidocrocite and Wernerite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Lepidocrocite and Wernerite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Lepidocrocite is 2.50-2.80 whereas that of Wernerite is 2.50-2.80.
