Montebrasite and Garnet Chemical Formula

While comparing Montebrasite and Garnet 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 Montebrasite and Garnet chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Montebrasite- LiAl(PO 4)(OH,F)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references
  • Chemical formula of Garnet- Garnet is a series of several different minerals with unique chemical formulas.

Montebrasite and Garnet Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Montebrasite and Garnet Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Montebrasite and Garnet Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Montebrasite is 3.55-4.33 whereas that of Garnet is 3.55-4.33.
