Nuummite and Vesuvianite Physical Properties

Nuummite and Vesuvianite Chemical Formula

While comparing Nuummite and Vesuvianite 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 Nuummite and Vesuvianite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Nuummite- Na(Fe,Mg)7(AlSi7O22)(OH)2
• Chemical formula of Vesuvianite- Ca10(Mg,Fe)2Al4(SiO4)5(Si2O7)2(OH)4

Nuummite and Vesuvianite Specific Gravity

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