Actinolite and Simpsonite Chemical Formula

While comparing Actinolite and Simpsonite 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 Simpsonite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Actinolite- Ca 2(Mg,Fe) 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Simpsonite- Al 4(Ta,Nb) 3(O,OH,F) 14Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Actinolite and Simpsonite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Actinolite and Simpsonite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Actinolite and Simpsonite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Actinolite is Not Available whereas that of Simpsonite is Not Available.
