Brucite and Pargasite Chemical Formula

While comparing Brucite and Pargasite 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 Brucite and Pargasite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Brucite- Mg(OH) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Pargasite- NaCa 2(Mg 4Al)Si 6Al 2O 22(OH) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Brucite and Pargasite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Brucite and Pargasite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Brucite and Pargasite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Brucite is 3.04-3.26 whereas that of Pargasite is 3.04-3.26.
