Prehnite and Inderite Chemical Formula

While comparing Prehnite and Inderite 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 Inderite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Prehnite- Ca2Al2Si3O12(OH)
  • Chemical formula of Inderite- MgB 3O 3(OH) 5 · 5H 2OMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Prehnite and Inderite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prehnite and Inderite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prehnite and Inderite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prehnite is 1.79 whereas that of Inderite is 1.79.
