Moissanite and Pargasite Chemical Formula

While comparing Moissanite and Pargasite 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 Moissanite and Pargasite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Moissanite- SiCArthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Moissanite and Pargasite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moissanite and Pargasite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moissanite and Pargasite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moissanite is 3.04-3.26 whereas that of Pargasite is 3.04-3.26.
