Pyrope and Hexagonite Physical Properties

Pyrope and Hexagonite Chemical Formula

While comparing Pyrope and Hexagonite 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 Hexagonite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Pyrope- Mg 3Al 2(SiO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
• Chemical formula of Hexagonite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Pyrope and Hexagonite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrope and Hexagonite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrope and Hexagonite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrope is 2.98-3.03 whereas that of Hexagonite is 2.98-3.03.
