Vesuvianite and Chambersite Physical Properties

Vesuvianite and Chambersite Chemical Formula

While comparing Vesuvianite and Chambersite 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 Vesuvianite and Chambersite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Vesuvianite- Ca10(Mg,Fe)2Al4(SiO4)5(Si2O7)2(OH)4
• Chemical formula of Chambersite- Mn 3B 7O 13ClMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Vesuvianite and Chambersite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Vesuvianite and Chambersite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Vesuvianite and Chambersite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Vesuvianite is 3.50 whereas that of Chambersite is 3.50.
