Xenotime and Rubellite Physical Properties

Xenotime and Rubellite Chemical Formula

While comparing Xenotime and Rubellite 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 Xenotime and Rubellite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Xenotime- YPO 4Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Rubellite- 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.

Xenotime and Rubellite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Xenotime and Rubellite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Xenotime and Rubellite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Xenotime is 3.01-3.06 whereas that of Rubellite is 3.01-3.06.
