Trinitite and Andradite Physical Properties

Trinitite and Andradite Chemical Formula

While comparing Trinitite and Andradite 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 Trinitite and Andradite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Trinitite- SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, FeO
• Chemical formula of Andradite- Ca 3Fe 2(SiO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Trinitite and Andradite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Trinitite and Andradite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Trinitite and Andradite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Trinitite is 3.70-4.10 whereas that of Andradite is 3.70-4.10.
