Rhodolite and Diaspore Chemical Formula

While comparing Rhodolite and Diaspore 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 Diaspore chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Rhodolite- (Mg,Fe)3Al2Si3O12
  • Chemical formula of Diaspore- AlO(OH)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Rhodolite and Diaspore Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rhodolite and Diaspore Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rhodolite and Diaspore Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rhodolite is 3.30-3.40 whereas that of Diaspore is 3.30-3.40.
