Amber and Pyrope Physical Properties

Amber and Pyrope Chemical Formula

While comparing Amber and Pyrope 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 Pyrope chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]
• Chemical formula of Pyrope- Mg 3Al 2(SiO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Amber and Pyrope Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Pyrope Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Pyrope Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 3.62-3.87 whereas that of Pyrope is 3.62-3.87.
