- Chemical formula of Pectolite- Ca 2NaHSi 3O 9Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Amber and Pectolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Pectolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Pectolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 2.74-2.90 whereas that of Pectolite is 2.74-2.90.
