Gyrolite and Enstatite Chemical Formula

While comparing Gyrolite and Enstatite 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 Gyrolite and Enstatite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Gyrolite- NaCa16Si23AlO60(OH)8•64(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Enstatite- Mg 2Si 2O 6Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references

Gyrolite and Enstatite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gyrolite and Enstatite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gyrolite and Enstatite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gyrolite is 3.20-3.25 whereas that of Enstatite is 3.20-3.25.
