Microlite and Hyalite Chemical Formula

While comparing Microlite and Hyalite 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 Microlite and Hyalite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Microlite- (Ca,Na) 2Ta 2O 6(O,OH,F)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references
  • Chemical formula of Hyalite- SiO 2 · nH 2OWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Microlite and Hyalite Specific Gravity

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