Sodalite and Sodalite Chemical Formula

While comparing Sodalite and Sodalite 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 Sodalite and Sodalite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Sodalite- Na8Al6Si6O24Cl2
  • Chemical formula of Sodalite- Na8Al6Si6O24Cl2

Sodalite and Sodalite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sodalite and Sodalite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sodalite and Sodalite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sodalite is 2.15-2.40 whereas that of Sodalite is 2.15-2.40.
