Tinaksite and Triplite Physical Properties

Tinaksite and Triplite Chemical Formula

While comparing Tinaksite and Triplite 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 Tinaksite and Triplite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Tinaksite- K2Na(Ca,Mn)2Ti[O|Si7O18(OH)]
• Chemical formula of Triplite- (Mn2+ ,Fe2+ ,Mg,Ca) 2(PO 4)(F,OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Tinaksite and Triplite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Tinaksite and Triplite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Tinaksite and Triplite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Tinaksite is 3.85-3.94 whereas that of Triplite is 3.85-3.94.
