Anthophyllite and Morion Chemical Formula

While comparing Anthophyllite and Morion 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 Anthophyllite and Morion chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Anthophyllite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 2(Mg,Fe2+ ) 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
  • Chemical formula of Morion- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Anthophyllite and Morion Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Anthophyllite and Morion Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Anthophyllite and Morion Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Anthophyllite is 2.65 whereas that of Morion is 2.65.
