Sogdianite and Thulite Chemical Formula
While comparing Sogdianite and Thulite 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 Sogdianite and Thulite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Sogdianite- (K,Na) 2(Li,Fe) 3(Zr,Ti,Fe)Si 12O 30Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
- Chemical formula of Thulite- Ca2Al3(SiO4)3(OH)
Sogdianite and Thulite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sogdianite and Thulite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sogdianite and Thulite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sogdianite is 3.1 whereas that of Thulite is 3.1.
