While comparing Peridot and Grandidierite 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 Peridot and Grandidierite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Peridot and Grandidierite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Peridot and Grandidierite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Peridot is 2.85-3.00 whereas that of Grandidierite is 2.85-3.00.
