Riesling Beryl and Sunstone Chemical Formula
While comparing Riesling Beryl and Sunstone 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 Riesling Beryl and Sunstone chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Riesling Beryl- Al 2Be 3Si 6O 18Martin H.
- Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi3O8 Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8
Riesling Beryl and Sunstone Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Riesling Beryl and Sunstone Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Riesling Beryl and Sunstone Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Riesling Beryl is 2.62-2.65 whereas that of Sunstone is 2.62-2.65.
