Moonstone and Bornite Chemical Formula

While comparing Moonstone and Bornite 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 Bornite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Moonstone- Plagioclase Feldspar s: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8 Orthoclase Feldspar : KAlSi3O8
  • Chemical formula of Bornite- Cu5FeS4

Moonstone and Bornite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moonstone and Bornite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moonstone and Bornite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moonstone is 5.06-5.08 whereas that of Bornite is 5.06-5.08.
