Staurolite and Agate Chemical Formula

While comparing Staurolite 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 Staurolite and Agate chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Staurolite- (Fe,Mg,Zn) 2Al 9(Si,Al) 4O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Agate- SiO2

Staurolite and Agate Specific Gravity

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