Mimetite and Moldavite Chemical Formula

While comparing Mimetite and Moldavite 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 Mimetite and Moldavite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Mimetite- Pb 5(AsO 4) 3ClMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references
  • Chemical formula of Moldavite- SiO 2(+Al 2O 3)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Mimetite and Moldavite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Mimetite and Moldavite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Mimetite and Moldavite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Mimetite is 2.32-2.38 whereas that of Moldavite is 2.32-2.38.
