Prase and Pargasite Chemical Formula

While comparing Prase and Pargasite 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 Pargasite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Prase- SiO 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Pargasite- NaCa 2(Mg 4Al)Si 6Al 2O 22(OH) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Prase and Pargasite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prase and Pargasite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prase and Pargasite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prase is 3.04-3.26 whereas that of Pargasite is 3.04-3.26.
