Moonstone and Ajoite Chemical Formula

While comparing Moonstone and Ajoite 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 Moonstone and Ajoite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Moonstone- Plagioclase Feldspar s: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8 Orthoclase Feldspar : KAlSi3O8
  • Chemical formula of Ajoite- (K,Na)3Cu20Al3Si29O76(OH)16•~8(H2O)

Moonstone and Ajoite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moonstone and Ajoite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moonstone and Ajoite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moonstone is 2.96 whereas that of Ajoite is 2.96.
