  • Chemical formula of Vesuvianite- Ca10(Mg,Fe)2Al4(SiO4)5(Si2O7)2(OH)4

Magnetite and Vesuvianite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Magnetite and Vesuvianite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Magnetite and Vesuvianite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Magnetite is 3.32-3.43 whereas that of Vesuvianite is 3.32-3.43.
