Sunstone and Demantoid Physical Properties

Sunstone and Demantoid Chemical Formula

While comparing Sunstone and Demantoid 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 Demantoid chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi₃O₈ Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al_1-2Si_3-2O₈
• Chemical formula of Demantoid- Ca 3Fe 2(SiO 4) 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Sunstone and Demantoid Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sunstone and Demantoid Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sunstone and Demantoid Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sunstone is 3.77-3.95 whereas that of Demantoid is 3.77-3.95.
