Baryte and Demantoid Physical Properties

Baryte and Demantoid Chemical Formula

While comparing Baryte and Demantoid 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 Demantoid chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Baryte- BaSO4
• Chemical formula of Demantoid- Ca 3Fe 2(SiO 4) 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Baryte and Demantoid Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Baryte and Demantoid Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Baryte and Demantoid Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Baryte is 3.77-3.95 whereas that of Demantoid is 3.77-3.95.
