Seraphinite and Iolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Seraphinite and Iolite 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 Seraphinite and Iolite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Seraphinite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 5Al(Si 3Al)O 10(OH) 8Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
  • Chemical formula of Iolite- Mg2Al4Si5O18

Seraphinite and Iolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Seraphinite and Iolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Seraphinite and Iolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Seraphinite is 2.6-2.7 whereas that of Iolite is 2.6-2.7.
