Rhodolite and Boleite Chemical Formula

While comparing Rhodolite and Boleite 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 Boleite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Rhodolite- (Mg,Fe)3Al2Si3O12
  • Chemical formula of Boleite- Pb 26Ag 10Cu 24Cl 62(OH) 48 · 3H 2OWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Rhodolite and Boleite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rhodolite and Boleite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rhodolite and Boleite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rhodolite is 5.05 whereas that of Boleite is 5.05.
