Aegirine and Vesuvianite Physical Properties

Aegirine and Vesuvianite Chemical Formula

While comparing Aegirine and Vesuvianite 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 Aegirine and Vesuvianite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Aegirine- (Na,Fe,Ca)Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Vesuvianite- Ca10(Mg,Fe)2Al4(SiO4)5(Si2O7)2(OH)4

Aegirine and Vesuvianite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Aegirine and Vesuvianite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Aegirine and Vesuvianite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Aegirine is 3.32-3.43 whereas that of Vesuvianite is 3.32-3.43.
