Topaz and Viridine Chemical Formula

While comparing Topaz and Viridine 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 Topaz and Viridine chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Topaz- Al2SiO4(F,OH)2
  • Chemical formula of Viridine- (Al,Mn3+ ) 2SiO 4OGemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Topaz and Viridine Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Topaz and Viridine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Topaz and Viridine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Topaz is 3.05-3.21 whereas that of Viridine is 3.05-3.21.
