Sunstone and Euclase Chemical Formula

While comparing Sunstone and Euclase 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 Euclase chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi3O8 Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8
  • Chemical formula of Euclase- BeAlSiO 4(OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references

Sunstone and Euclase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sunstone and Euclase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sunstone and Euclase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sunstone is 3.08-3.12 whereas that of Euclase is 3.08-3.12.
