Fibrolite and Actinolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Fibrolite and Actinolite 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 Fibrolite and Actinolite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Fibrolite- Al 2SiO 5Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
  • Chemical formula of Actinolite- Ca 2(Mg,Fe) 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Fibrolite and Actinolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Fibrolite and Actinolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Fibrolite and Actinolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Fibrolite is 3.00 whereas that of Actinolite is 3.00.
