Pyrope and Hambergite Physical Properties

Pyrope and Hambergite Chemical Formula

While comparing Pyrope and Hambergite 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 Hambergite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Pyrope- Mg 3Al 2(SiO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
• Chemical formula of Hambergite- Be 2BO 3(OH)Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Pyrope and Hambergite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrope and Hambergite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrope and Hambergite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrope is 2.33-2.37 whereas that of Hambergite is 2.33-2.37.
