Spessartine and Cryolite Physical Properties

Spessartine and Cryolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Spessartine and Cryolite 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 Spessartine and Cryolite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Spessartine- Mn 3Al 2(SiO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
• Chemical formula of Cryolite- Na 3AlF 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Spessartine and Cryolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Spessartine and Cryolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Spessartine and Cryolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Spessartine is 2.97 whereas that of Cryolite is 2.97.
