Pectolite and Lepidocrocite Physical Properties

Pectolite and Lepidocrocite Chemical Formula

While comparing Pectolite and Lepidocrocite 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 Lepidocrocite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Pectolite- Ca 2NaHSi 3O 9Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Lepidocrocite- FeO(OH)

Pectolite and Lepidocrocite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pectolite and Lepidocrocite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pectolite and Lepidocrocite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pectolite is 4 whereas that of Lepidocrocite is 4.
