  • Chemical formula of Tremolite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Prase and Tremolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prase and Tremolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prase and Tremolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prase is 2.95-3.07 whereas that of Tremolite is 2.95-3.07.
