Sunstone and Musgravite Chemical Formula

While comparing Sunstone and Musgravite 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 Musgravite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi3O8 Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8
  • Chemical formula of Musgravite- (Mg,Fe,Zn)Al 6BeO 12Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Sunstone and Musgravite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sunstone and Musgravite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sunstone and Musgravite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sunstone is 3.62-3.68 whereas that of Musgravite is 3.62-3.68.
