Rutilated Quartz and Rhodolite Chemical Formula
While comparing Rutilated Quartz and Rhodolite 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 Rutilated Quartz and Rhodolite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Rutilated Quartz- Quartz: SiO2 Rutile: TiO2
- Chemical formula of Rhodolite- (Mg,Fe)3Al2Si3O12
Rutilated Quartz and Rhodolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rutilated Quartz and Rhodolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rutilated Quartz and Rhodolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rutilated Quartz is 3.84 whereas that of Rhodolite is 3.84.
