Turquoise and Turquoise Chemical Formula

While comparing Turquoise and Turquoise 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 Turquoise and Turquoise chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Turquoise- CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8 • 4H2O
  • Chemical formula of Turquoise- CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8 • 4H2O

Turquoise and Turquoise Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Turquoise and Turquoise Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Turquoise and Turquoise Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Turquoise is 2.30-2.90 whereas that of Turquoise is 2.30-2.90.
