Trinitite and Sapphire Physical Properties

Trinitite and Sapphire Chemical Formula

While comparing Trinitite and Sapphire 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 Trinitite and Sapphire chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Trinitite- SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, FeO
• Chemical formula of Sapphire- Al ₂ O ₃

Trinitite and Sapphire Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Trinitite and Sapphire Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Trinitite and Sapphire Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Trinitite is 3.95-4.03 whereas that of Sapphire is 3.95-4.03.
