Rhodolite and Citrine Chemical Formula
While comparing Rhodolite and Citrine 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 Citrine chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Rhodolite- (Mg,Fe)3Al2Si3O12
- Chemical formula of Citrine- SiO2
Rhodolite and Citrine Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rhodolite and Citrine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rhodolite and Citrine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rhodolite is 2.65 whereas that of Citrine is 2.65.
