Parisite and Alunite Physical Properties

Parisite and Alunite Chemical Formula

While comparing Parisite and Alunite 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 Parisite and Alunite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Parisite- Ca(Nd,Ce,La) 2(CO 3) 3F 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Alunite- KAl3(SO4)2(OH)6

Parisite and Alunite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Parisite and Alunite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Parisite and Alunite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Parisite is 2.6-2.9 whereas that of Alunite is 2.6-2.9.
