Rhodolite and Meionite Chemical Formula
While comparing Rhodolite and Meionite 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 Meionite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Rhodolite- (Mg,Fe)3Al2Si3O12
- Chemical formula of Meionite- 3CaAl 2Si 2O 8 · CaCO 3Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
Rhodolite and Meionite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rhodolite and Meionite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rhodolite and Meionite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rhodolite is 2.78 whereas that of Meionite is 2.78.
