Oligoclase and Jacinth Physical Properties

Oligoclase and Jacinth Chemical Formula

While comparing Oligoclase and Jacinth 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 Oligoclase and Jacinth chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Oligoclase- Na(90-70%)Ca(10-30%)(Al,Si)AlSi 2O 8Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
• Chemical formula of Jacinth- ZrSiO4

Oligoclase and Jacinth Specific Gravity

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