Piemontite and Cryolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Piemontite and Cryolite 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 Piemontite and Cryolite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Piemontite- Ca2Al3(SiO4)(Si2O7)O(OH)
  • Chemical formula of Cryolite- Na 3AlF 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Piemontite and Cryolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Piemontite and Cryolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Piemontite and Cryolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Piemontite is 2.97 whereas that of Cryolite is 2.97.
