Marialite and Jade Chemical Formula

While comparing Marialite and Jade 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 Marialite and Jade chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Marialite- 3NaAlSi 3O 8 · NaClAnthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
  • Chemical formula of Jade- Nephrite: Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2 Jadeite: NaAlSi2O6

Marialite and Jade Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Marialite and Jade Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Marialite and Jade Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Marialite is 2.90-3.38 whereas that of Jade is 2.90-3.38.
