Diopside and Agrellite Chemical Formula

While comparing Diopside and Agrellite 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 Diopside and Agrellite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Diopside- CaMgSi2O6
  • Chemical formula of Agrellite- NaCa2Si4O10F

Diopside and Agrellite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Diopside and Agrellite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Diopside and Agrellite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Diopside is 2.88 whereas that of Agrellite is 2.88.
