Parisite and Pyrite Chemical Formula

While comparing Parisite and Pyrite 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 Parisite and Pyrite chemical formula.

Parisite and Pyrite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Parisite and Pyrite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Parisite and Pyrite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Parisite is 5.00-5.20 whereas that of Pyrite is 5.00-5.20.
