Tremolite and Selenite Chemical Formula

While comparing Tremolite and Selenite 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 Selenite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Tremolite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Selenite- CaSO4·2H2O

Tremolite and Selenite Specific Gravity

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