Zincite and Anyolite Physical Properties

Zincite and Anyolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Zincite and Anyolite 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 Zincite and Anyolite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Zincite- (Zn,Mn2+ )OMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
• Chemical formula of Anyolite- Ruby Zoisite: (Ca,Na)(Al,Mg,Fe)3Al6(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4

Zincite and Anyolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Zincite and Anyolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Zincite and Anyolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Zincite is 3.20-3.50 whereas that of Anyolite is 3.20-3.50.
