Verdelite and Amber Chemical Formula

While comparing Verdelite and Amber 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 Verdelite and Amber chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Verdelite- Na(Li 1.5Al 1.5)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012) Formula given for elbaite.
  • Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]

Verdelite and Amber Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Verdelite and Amber Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Verdelite and Amber Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Verdelite is 1.05-1.10 whereas that of Amber is 1.05-1.10.
