Hydrogrossular and Anhydrite Chemical Formula

While comparing Hydrogrossular and Anhydrite 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 Hydrogrossular and Anhydrite chemical formula.

Hydrogrossular and Anhydrite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hydrogrossular and Anhydrite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hydrogrossular and Anhydrite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hydrogrossular is 2.90-2.98 whereas that of Anhydrite is 2.90-2.98.
