Vesuvianite and Piemontite Physical Properties

Vesuvianite and Piemontite Chemical Formula

While comparing Vesuvianite and Piemontite 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 Piemontite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Vesuvianite- Ca10(Mg,Fe)2Al4(SiO4)5(Si2O7)2(OH)4
• Chemical formula of Piemontite- Ca2Al3(SiO4)(Si2O7)O(OH)

Vesuvianite and Piemontite Specific Gravity

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