Pyrope and Copper Chemical Formula

While comparing Pyrope and Copper 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 Copper chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Copper- Cu

Pyrope and Copper Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrope and Copper Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrope and Copper Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrope is Not Available whereas that of Copper is Not Available.
