Rhodolite and Adamite Chemical Formula

While comparing Rhodolite and Adamite 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 Rhodolite and Adamite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Rhodolite- (Mg,Fe)3Al2Si3O12
  • Chemical formula of Adamite- Zn 2(AsO 4)(OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth edition (2006)

Rhodolite and Adamite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rhodolite and Adamite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rhodolite and Adamite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rhodolite is 4.32-4.48 whereas that of Adamite is 4.32-4.48.
