Trinitite and Tantalite Physical Properties

Trinitite and Tantalite Chemical Formula

While comparing Trinitite and Tantalite 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 Tantalite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Trinitite- SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, FeO
• Chemical formula of Tantalite- (Fe,Mn)Ta 2O 6Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Trinitite and Tantalite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Trinitite and Tantalite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Trinitite and Tantalite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Trinitite is 5.2 whereas that of Tantalite is 5.2.
