Pyrope and Titanite Physical Properties

Pyrope and Titanite Chemical Formula

While comparing Pyrope and Titanite 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 Titanite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Pyrope- Mg 3Al 2(SiO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
• Chemical formula of Titanite- CaTiSiO5

Pyrope and Titanite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrope and Titanite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrope and Titanite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrope is 3.48-3.60 whereas that of Titanite is 3.48-3.60.
