Baryte and Anyolite Physical Properties

Baryte and Anyolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Baryte and Anyolite 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 Baryte and Anyolite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Baryte- BaSO4
• Chemical formula of Anyolite- Ruby Zoisite: (Ca,Na)(Al,Mg,Fe)3Al6(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4

Baryte and Anyolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Baryte and Anyolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Baryte and Anyolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Baryte is 3.20-3.50 whereas that of Anyolite is 3.20-3.50.
