Pleonast and Wernerite Physical Properties

Pleonast and Wernerite Chemical Formula

While comparing Pleonast and Wernerite 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 Wernerite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Pleonast- MgAl2O4
• Chemical formula of Wernerite- Na 4(Al,Si) 12O 24Cl to Ca 4(Si,Al) 12O 24(CO 3,SO 4)Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Pleonast and Wernerite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pleonast and Wernerite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pleonast and Wernerite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pleonast is 2.50-2.80 whereas that of Wernerite is 2.50-2.80.
