Sunstone and Sulphur Chemical Formula

While comparing Sunstone and Sulphur 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 Sulphur chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi3O8 Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8
  • Chemical formula of Sulphur- SWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Sunstone and Sulphur Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sunstone and Sulphur Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sunstone and Sulphur Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sunstone is 2.05-2.08 whereas that of Sulphur is 2.05-2.08.
