Uvarovite and Uvite Physical Properties

Uvarovite and Uvite Chemical Formula

While comparing Uvarovite and Uvite 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 Uvarovite and Uvite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Uvarovite- Ca 3Cr 2(SiO 4) 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Uvite- Ca(Mg 3)MgAl 5(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Uvarovite and Uvite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Uvarovite and Uvite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Uvarovite and Uvite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Uvarovite is 2.97-3.14 whereas that of Uvite is 2.97-3.14.
