Neptunite and Eudialyte Physical Properties

Neptunite and Eudialyte Chemical Formula

While comparing Neptunite and Eudialyte 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 Neptunite and Eudialyte chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Neptunite- KNa 2Li(Fe2+ ,Mn2+ ) 2Ti 2Si 8O 24Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
• Chemical formula of Eudialyte- Na 4(Ca,Ce) 2(Fe,Mn,Y)ZrSi 8O 22(OH,Cl) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Neptunite and Eudialyte Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Neptunite and Eudialyte Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Neptunite and Eudialyte Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Neptunite is 2.74-3.00 whereas that of Eudialyte is 2.74-3.00.
