Tremolite and Wernerite Physical Properties

Tremolite and Wernerite Chemical Formula

While comparing Tremolite and Wernerite 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 Wernerite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Tremolite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Wernerite- Na 4(Al,Si) 12O 24Cl to Ca 4(Si,Al) 12O 24(CO 3,SO 4)Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Tremolite and Wernerite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Tremolite and Wernerite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Tremolite and Wernerite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Tremolite is 2.50-2.80 whereas that of Wernerite is 2.50-2.80.
