Prehnite and Ametrine Chemical Formula

While comparing Prehnite and Ametrine 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 Prehnite and Ametrine chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Prehnite- Ca2Al2Si3O12(OH)
  • Chemical formula of Ametrine- SiO2

Prehnite and Ametrine Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prehnite and Ametrine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prehnite and Ametrine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prehnite is 2.65 whereas that of Ametrine is 2.65.
