Peridot and Tinzenite Chemical Formula
While comparing Peridot and Tinzenite 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 Tinzenite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Peridot- (Mg,Fe)2SiO4
- Chemical formula of Tinzenite- (Ca,Mn2+ ,Fe2+ ) 3Al 2BSi 4O 15(OH)Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
Peridot and Tinzenite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Peridot and Tinzenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Peridot and Tinzenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Peridot is 3.355-3.433 whereas that of Tinzenite is 3.355-3.433.
