Spodumene and Hydrogrossular Chemical Formula
While comparing Spodumene and Hydrogrossular 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 Spodumene and Hydrogrossular chemical formula.

- Chemical formula of Hydrogrossular- hydrogrossular Massive vein s of opaque Grossular Garnet that resembles Jade . It is white to light green in color, and may be colored in a white, green, and pink combination. Hydrogrossular is often regarded as a variety of Grossular, but it is scientifi
Spodumene and Hydrogrossular Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Spodumene and Hydrogrossular Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Spodumene and Hydrogrossular Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Spodumene is 3.25-3.40 whereas that of Hydrogrossular is 3.25-3.40.
