Bronzite and Tanzanite Chemical Formula
While comparing Bronzite and Tanzanite 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 Bronzite and Tanzanite chemical formula.

- Chemical formula of Tanzanite- Ca2Al3(SiO4)3(OH)
Bronzite and Tanzanite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Bronzite and Tanzanite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Bronzite and Tanzanite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Bronzite is 3.35 whereas that of Tanzanite is 3.35.
