Rhodochrosite and Rhodochrosite Chemical Formula

While comparing Rhodochrosite and Rhodochrosite 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 Rhodochrosite and Rhodochrosite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Rhodochrosite- MnCO3
  • Chemical formula of Rhodochrosite- MnCO3

Rhodochrosite and Rhodochrosite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rhodochrosite and Rhodochrosite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rhodochrosite and Rhodochrosite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rhodochrosite is 3.0-3.3 whereas that of Rhodochrosite is 3.0-3.3.
