Pyrope and Sard Physical Properties

Pyrope and Sard Chemical Formula

While comparing Pyrope and Sard 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 Sard chemical formula.

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

Pyrope and Sard Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrope and Sard Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrope and Sard Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrope is 2.58-2.63 whereas that of Sard is 2.58-2.63.
