Lepidolite and Augite Chemical Formula

While comparing Lepidolite and Augite 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 Lepidolite and Augite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Lepidolite- Mg 3Si 4O 10(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Augite- (Ca,Na)(Mg,Fe,Al,Ti)(Si,Al) 2O 6Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Lepidolite and Augite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Lepidolite and Augite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Lepidolite and Augite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Lepidolite is 3.19-3.56 whereas that of Augite is 3.19-3.56.
