Lazurite and Tremolite Physical Properties

Lazurite and Tremolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Lazurite and Tremolite 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 Lazurite and Tremolite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Lazurite- (Na,Ca) 8Al 6Si 6O 24(SO 4,S,Cl) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Tremolite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Lazurite and Tremolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Lazurite and Tremolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Lazurite and Tremolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Lazurite is 2.95-3.07 whereas that of Tremolite is 2.95-3.07.
