Moonstone and Euclase Chemical Formula

While comparing Moonstone and Euclase 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 Euclase chemical formula.

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

Moonstone and Euclase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moonstone and Euclase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moonstone and Euclase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moonstone is 3.08-3.12 whereas that of Euclase is 3.08-3.12.
