Amber and Pargasite Chemical Formula
While comparing Amber and Pargasite 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 Amber and Pargasite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]
- Chemical formula of Pargasite- NaCa 2(Mg 4Al)Si 6Al 2O 22(OH) 2Michael OâDonoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
Amber and Pargasite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Pargasite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Pargasite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 3.04-3.26 whereas that of Pargasite is 3.04-3.26.
