Tinzenite and Sunstone Chemical Formula

While comparing Tinzenite and Sunstone 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 Tinzenite and Sunstone chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Tinzenite- (Ca,Mn2+ ,Fe2+ ) 3Al 2BSi 4O 15(OH)Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
  • Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi3O8 Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8

Tinzenite and Sunstone Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Tinzenite and Sunstone Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Tinzenite and Sunstone Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Tinzenite is 2.62-2.65 whereas that of Sunstone is 2.62-2.65.
