Linarite and Simpsonite Chemical Formula

While comparing Linarite and Simpsonite 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 Linarite and Simpsonite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Linarite- PbCu(SO 4)(OH) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Simpsonite- Al 4(Ta,Nb) 3(O,OH,F) 14Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Linarite and Simpsonite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Linarite and Simpsonite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Linarite and Simpsonite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Linarite is Not Available whereas that of Simpsonite is Not Available.
