Pleonast and Seraphinite Physical Properties

Pleonast and Seraphinite Chemical Formula

While comparing Pleonast and Seraphinite 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 Pleonast and Seraphinite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Pleonast- MgAl2O4
• Chemical formula of Seraphinite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 5Al(Si 3Al)O 10(OH) 8Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Pleonast and Seraphinite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pleonast and Seraphinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pleonast and Seraphinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pleonast is 2.60-3.02 whereas that of Seraphinite is 2.60-3.02.
