Sapphire and Boleite Chemical Formula
While comparing Sapphire and Boleite 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 Sapphire and Boleite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Sapphire- Al 2 O 3
- Chemical formula of Boleite- Pb 26Ag 10Cu 24Cl 62(OH) 48 · 3H 2OWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references
Sapphire and Boleite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sapphire and Boleite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sapphire and Boleite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sapphire is 5.05 whereas that of Boleite is 5.05.
