Pyrope and Tremolite Physical Properties

Pyrope and Tremolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Pyrope and Tremolite 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 Tremolite chemical formula.

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

Pyrope and Tremolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrope and Tremolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrope and Tremolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrope is 2.95-3.07 whereas that of Tremolite is 2.95-3.07.
