Triplite and Citrine Chemical Formula

While comparing Triplite and Citrine 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 Triplite and Citrine chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Triplite- (Mn2+ ,Fe2+ ,Mg,Ca) 2(PO 4)(F,OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Citrine- SiO2

Triplite and Citrine Specific Gravity

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