Wulfenite and Scorzalite Chemical Formula

While comparing Wulfenite and Scorzalite 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 Wulfenite and Scorzalite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Wulfenite- PbMoO 4Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)
  • Chemical formula of Scorzalite- (Fe2+ ,Mg)Al 2(PO 4) 2(OH) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Wulfenite and Scorzalite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Wulfenite and Scorzalite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Wulfenite and Scorzalite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Wulfenite is 3.31 whereas that of Scorzalite is 3.31.
