Prehnite and Nosean Chemical Formula

While comparing Prehnite and Nosean 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 Nosean chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Prehnite- Ca2Al2Si3O12(OH)
  • Chemical formula of Nosean- Na 8Al 6Si 6O 24(SO 4) · H 2OAnthony et al , Handbook of Mineralogy (2001)

Prehnite and Nosean Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prehnite and Nosean Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prehnite and Nosean Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prehnite is 2.30-2.40 whereas that of Nosean is 2.30-2.40.
