Spinel and Copper Chemical Formula

While comparing Spinel and Copper 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 Spinel and Copper chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Spinel- MgAl2O4
  • Chemical formula of Copper- Cu

Spinel and Copper Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Spinel and Copper Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Spinel and Copper Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Spinel is Not Available whereas that of Copper is Not Available.
