Hypersthene and Jasper Chemical Formula

While comparing Hypersthene and Jasper 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 Hypersthene and Jasper chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Hypersthene- (Fe,Mg) 2Si 2O 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Jasper- SiO2

Hypersthene and Jasper Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hypersthene and Jasper Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hypersthene and Jasper Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hypersthene is 2.58-2.91 whereas that of Jasper is 2.58-2.91.
