Sugilite and Jade Chemical Formula

While comparing Sugilite and Jade 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 Sugilite and Jade chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Sugilite- KNa 2(Fe3+ ,Mn3+ ,Al) 2Li 3Si 12O 30Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references

Sugilite and Jade Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sugilite and Jade Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sugilite and Jade Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sugilite is 2.90-3.38 whereas that of Jade is 2.90-3.38.
