Verdelite and Emerald Chemical Formula

While comparing Verdelite and Emerald 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 Emerald 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 Emerald- Be3Al2SiO6

Verdelite and Emerald Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Verdelite and Emerald Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Verdelite and Emerald Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Verdelite is 2.67-2.78 whereas that of Emerald is 2.67-2.78.
