Tremolite and Turquoise Chemical Formula

While comparing Tremolite and Turquoise 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 Turquoise chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Tremolite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Turquoise- CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8 • 4H2O

Tremolite and Turquoise Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Tremolite and Turquoise Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Tremolite and Turquoise Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Tremolite is 2.30-2.90 whereas that of Turquoise is 2.30-2.90.
