Ulexite and Jade Chemical Formula

While comparing Ulexite and Jade 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 Ulexite and Jade chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Ulexite- NaCaB 5O 6(OH) 6 · 5H 2OMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Jade- Nephrite: Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2 Jadeite: NaAlSi2O6

Ulexite and Jade Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Ulexite and Jade Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Ulexite and Jade Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Ulexite is 2.90-3.38 whereas that of Jade is 2.90-3.38.
