Violane and Biotite Chemical Formula

While comparing Violane and Biotite 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 Violane and Biotite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Violane- (Ca,Mg,Mn)SiO 3Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)
  • Chemical formula of Biotite- K(Mg,Fe++)3[AlSi3O10(OH,F)2

Violane and Biotite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Violane and Biotite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Violane and Biotite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Violane is 2.7-3.3 whereas that of Biotite is 2.7-3.3.
