Tinzenite and Emerald Chemical Formula

While comparing Tinzenite and Emerald 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 Tinzenite and Emerald chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Tinzenite- (Ca,Mn2+ ,Fe2+ ) 3Al 2BSi 4O 15(OH)Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
  • Chemical formula of Emerald- Be3Al2SiO6

Tinzenite and Emerald Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Tinzenite and Emerald Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Tinzenite and Emerald Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Tinzenite is 2.67-2.78 whereas that of Emerald is 2.67-2.78.
