Jeremejevite and Tinzenite Chemical Formula
While comparing Jeremejevite and Tinzenite 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 Jeremejevite and Tinzenite chemical formula.

Jeremejevite and Tinzenite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Jeremejevite and Tinzenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Jeremejevite and Tinzenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Jeremejevite is 3.355-3.433 whereas that of Tinzenite is 3.355-3.433.
