Sonolite and Quartz Chemical Formula

While comparing Sonolite and Quartz 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 Sonolite and Quartz chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Sonolite- Mn2+9(SiO 4) 4(OH,F) 2Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
  • Chemical formula of Quartz- SiO2

Sonolite and Quartz Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sonolite and Quartz Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sonolite and Quartz Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sonolite is 2.65 whereas that of Quartz is 2.65.
