Pyromorphite and Chambersite Chemical Formula

While comparing Pyromorphite and Chambersite 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 Pyromorphite and Chambersite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Pyromorphite- Pb 5(PO 4) 3ClArthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
  • Chemical formula of Chambersite- Mn 3B 7O 13ClMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Pyromorphite and Chambersite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyromorphite and Chambersite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyromorphite and Chambersite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyromorphite is 3.50 whereas that of Chambersite is 3.50.
