Rhodolite and Marialite Chemical Formula

While comparing Rhodolite and Marialite 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 Marialite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Rhodolite- (Mg,Fe)3Al2Si3O12
  • Chemical formula of Marialite- 3NaAlSi 3O 8 · NaClAnthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Rhodolite and Marialite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rhodolite and Marialite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rhodolite and Marialite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rhodolite is 2.50 whereas that of Marialite is 2.50.
