Sunstone and Bayldonite Chemical Formula
While comparing Sunstone and Bayldonite 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 Sunstone and Bayldonite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi3O8 Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8
- Chemical formula of Bayldonite- (Cu,Zn)3Pb(AsO3OH)2(OH)2
Sunstone and Bayldonite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sunstone and Bayldonite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sunstone and Bayldonite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sunstone is 5.50 whereas that of Bayldonite is 5.50.
