Pectolite and Heliodor Chemical Formula
While comparing Pectolite and Heliodor 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 Pectolite and Heliodor chemical formula.

Pectolite and Heliodor Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pectolite and Heliodor Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pectolite and Heliodor Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pectolite is Not Available whereas that of Heliodor is Not Available.
