Rhodolite and Tremolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Rhodolite 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 Rhodolite and Tremolite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Rhodolite- (Mg,Fe)3Al2Si3O12
  • Chemical formula of Tremolite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Rhodolite and Tremolite Specific Gravity

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