Rhodolite and Pyrite Chemical Formula

While comparing Rhodolite and Pyrite 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 Rhodolite and Pyrite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Rhodolite- (Mg,Fe)3Al2Si3O12

Rhodolite and Pyrite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rhodolite and Pyrite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rhodolite and Pyrite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rhodolite is 5.00-5.20 whereas that of Pyrite is 5.00-5.20.
