Prehnite and Morganite Chemical Formula

While comparing Prehnite and Morganite 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 Morganite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Prehnite- Ca2Al2Si3O12(OH)
  • Chemical formula of Morganite- Be3Al2SiO6

Prehnite and Morganite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prehnite and Morganite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prehnite and Morganite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prehnite is 2.71-2.90 whereas that of Morganite is 2.71-2.90.
