Hydrogrossular and Bowenite Physical Properties

Hydrogrossular and Bowenite Chemical Formula

While comparing Hydrogrossular and Bowenite 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 Bowenite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Hydrogrossular- hydrogrossular Massive vein s of opaque Grossular Garnet that resembles Jade . It is white to light green in color, and may be colored in a white, green, and pink combination. Hydrogrossular is often regarded as a variety of Grossular, but it is scientifi
• Chemical formula of Bowenite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 3Si 2O 5(OH) 4Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Hydrogrossular and Bowenite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hydrogrossular and Bowenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hydrogrossular and Bowenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hydrogrossular is 2.58-2.80 whereas that of Bowenite is 2.58-2.80.
