Pyrope and Baryte Physical Properties

Pyrope and Baryte Chemical Formula

While comparing Pyrope and Baryte 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 Baryte chemical formula.

Pyrope and Baryte Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrope and Baryte Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrope and Baryte Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrope is 4.3-5 whereas that of Baryte is 4.3-5.
