Actinolite and Jacobsite Chemical Formula

While comparing Actinolite and Jacobsite 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 Actinolite and Jacobsite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Actinolite- Ca 2(Mg,Fe) 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Jacobsite- (Mn2+ ,Fe2+ ,Mg)(Fe3+ ,Mn3+ ) 2O 4Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Actinolite and Jacobsite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Actinolite and Jacobsite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Actinolite and Jacobsite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Actinolite is 4.76-5.03 whereas that of Jacobsite is 4.76-5.03.
