Rhodizite and Sapphire Chemical Formula

While comparing Rhodizite and Sapphire 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 Rhodizite and Sapphire chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Rhodizite- (K,Cs)Al 4Be 4(B,Be) 12O 28Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references
  • Chemical formula of Sapphire- Al 2 O 3

Rhodizite and Sapphire Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rhodizite and Sapphire Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rhodizite and Sapphire Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rhodizite is 3.95-4.03 whereas that of Sapphire is 3.95-4.03.
