Wernerite and Sulfur Chemical Formula

While comparing Wernerite and Sulfur 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 Wernerite and Sulfur chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Wernerite- Na 4(Al,Si) 12O 24Cl to Ca 4(Si,Al) 12O 24(CO 3,SO 4)Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
  • Chemical formula of Sulfur- S8

Wernerite and Sulfur Specific Gravity

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