Parisite and Chiastolite Physical Properties

Parisite and Chiastolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Parisite and Chiastolite 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 Chiastolite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Parisite- Ca(Nd,Ce,La) 2(CO 3) 3F 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Chiastolite- Al 2SiO 5Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth edition (2006)

Parisite and Chiastolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Parisite and Chiastolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Parisite and Chiastolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Parisite is 3.00-3.15 whereas that of Chiastolite is 3.00-3.15.
