Actinolite and Parisite Chemical Formula

While comparing Actinolite and Parisite 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 Parisite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Actinolite- Ca 2(Mg,Fe) 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Parisite- Ca(Nd,Ce,La) 2(CO 3) 3F 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Actinolite and Parisite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Actinolite and Parisite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Actinolite and Parisite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Actinolite is 4.33-4.42 whereas that of Parisite is 4.33-4.42.
