Morganite and Calcite Chemical Formula

While comparing Morganite and Calcite 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 Morganite and Calcite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Morganite- Be3Al2SiO6
  • Chemical formula of Calcite- CaCO 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Morganite and Calcite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Morganite and Calcite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Morganite and Calcite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Morganite is 2.67-2.73 whereas that of Calcite is 2.67-2.73.
