Prase and Actinolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Prase and Actinolite 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 Prase and Actinolite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Prase- SiO 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Actinolite- Ca 2(Mg,Fe) 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Prase and Actinolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prase and Actinolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prase and Actinolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prase is 3.00 whereas that of Actinolite is 3.00.
