Tremolite and Vesuvianite Chemical Formula

While comparing Tremolite and Vesuvianite 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 Vesuvianite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Tremolite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Vesuvianite- Ca10(Mg,Fe)2Al4(SiO4)5(Si2O7)2(OH)4

Tremolite and Vesuvianite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Tremolite and Vesuvianite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Tremolite and Vesuvianite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Tremolite is 3.32-3.43 whereas that of Vesuvianite is 3.32-3.43.
