- Chemical formula of Rubellite- Na(Li 1.5Al 1.5)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012) Formula given for elbaite.
Parisite and Rubellite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Parisite and Rubellite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Parisite and Rubellite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Parisite is 3.01-3.06 whereas that of Rubellite is 3.01-3.06.
