The cations and anions of an ionic precious stone are thought to be in contact with each other and henceforth the entirety of their radii will be equivalent to the bury atomic separation between them.
r(C+) + r(A-) = d (C+-A-)
where
r(C+) - range of cation, C+ r(A-) - span of anion, A-= 94 – 126 = 32pm
