Pyrope and Amber Physical Properties

Pyrope and Amber Chemical Formula

While comparing Pyrope and Amber 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 Pyrope and Amber chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Pyrope- Mg 3Al 2(SiO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
• Chemical formula of Amber- [C,H,O]

Pyrope and Amber Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrope and Amber Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrope and Amber Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrope is 1.05-1.10 whereas that of Amber is 1.05-1.10.
