Staurolite and Andesine Chemical Formula

While comparing Staurolite and Andesine 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 Andesine chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Staurolite- (Fe,Mg,Zn) 2Al 9(Si,Al) 4O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Andesine- (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8

Staurolite and Andesine Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Staurolite and Andesine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Staurolite and Andesine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Staurolite is 2.65-2.69 whereas that of Andesine is 2.65-2.69.
