Morganite and Dumortierite Chemical Formula
While comparing Morganite and Dumortierite 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 Dumortierite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Morganite- Be3Al2SiO6
- Chemical formula of Dumortierite- AlAl6O3BSi3O18
Morganite and Dumortierite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Morganite and Dumortierite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Morganite and Dumortierite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Morganite is 3.26-3.41 whereas that of Dumortierite is 3.26-3.41.
