Pyrope and Parisite Physical Properties

Pyrope and Parisite Chemical Formula

While comparing Pyrope and Parisite 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 Parisite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Pyrope- Mg 3Al 2(SiO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
• Chemical formula of Parisite- Ca(Nd,Ce,La) 2(CO 3) 3F 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Pyrope and Parisite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrope and Parisite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrope and Parisite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrope is 4.33-4.42 whereas that of Parisite is 4.33-4.42.
