Pumpellyite and Cryolite Chemical Formula
While comparing Pumpellyite 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 Pumpellyite and Cryolite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Pumpellyite- Ca 2(Mg,Fe,Mn,Al) 2(SiO 4)(Si 2O 7)(OH) 2 · H 2OUlrich Henn and Claudio C.
- Chemical formula of Cryolite- Na 3AlF 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Pumpellyite and Cryolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pumpellyite and Cryolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pumpellyite and Cryolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pumpellyite is 2.97 whereas that of Cryolite is 2.97.
