Plasma and Albite Physical Properties

Plasma and Albite Chemical Formula

While comparing Plasma and Albite 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 Plasma and Albite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Plasma- Cu9(AsO4)2(OH)10
• Chemical formula of Albite- NaAlSi 3O 8Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Plasma and Albite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Plasma and Albite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Plasma and Albite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Plasma is 2.60-2.65 whereas that of Albite is 2.60-2.65.
