Diopside and Thulite Chemical Formula

While comparing Diopside and Thulite 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 Thulite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Diopside- CaMgSi2O6
  • Chemical formula of Thulite- Ca2Al3(SiO4)3(OH)

Diopside and Thulite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Diopside and Thulite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Diopside and Thulite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Diopside is 3.1 whereas that of Thulite is 3.1.
