Prehnite and Jasper Chemical Formula

While comparing Prehnite and Jasper 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 Jasper chemical formula.

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

Prehnite and Jasper Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prehnite and Jasper Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prehnite and Jasper Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prehnite is 2.58-2.91 whereas that of Jasper is 2.58-2.91.
