Spodumene and Agate Physical Properties

Spodumene and Agate Chemical Formula

While comparing Spodumene and Agate 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 Spodumene and Agate chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Spodumene- LiAlSi₂O₆
• Chemical formula of Agate- SiO₂

Spodumene and Agate Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Spodumene and Agate Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Spodumene and Agate Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Spodumene is 2.60-2.64 whereas that of Agate is 2.60-2.64.
