Tremolite and Quartz Chemical Formula

While comparing Tremolite and Quartz 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 Tremolite and Quartz chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Tremolite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Quartz- SiO2

Tremolite and Quartz Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Tremolite and Quartz Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Tremolite and Quartz Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Tremolite is 2.65 whereas that of Quartz is 2.65.
