Fuchsite and Tremolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Fuchsite and Tremolite 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 Fuchsite and Tremolite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Fuchsite- K(Al,Cr) 3Si 3O 10(OH) 2Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)
  • Chemical formula of Tremolite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Fuchsite and Tremolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Fuchsite and Tremolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Fuchsite and Tremolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Fuchsite is 2.95-3.07 whereas that of Tremolite is 2.95-3.07.
