Chondrodite and Vesuvianite Physical Properties

Chondrodite and Vesuvianite Chemical Formula

While comparing Chondrodite and Vesuvianite 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 Chondrodite and Vesuvianite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Chondrodite- (Mg,Fe) 5(SiO 4) 2(F,OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Vesuvianite- Ca10(Mg,Fe)2Al4(SiO4)5(Si2O7)2(OH)4

Chondrodite and Vesuvianite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chondrodite and Vesuvianite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chondrodite and Vesuvianite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chondrodite is 3.32-3.43 whereas that of Vesuvianite is 3.32-3.43.
