Vesuvianite and Viridine Physical Properties

Vesuvianite and Viridine Chemical Formula

While comparing Vesuvianite and Viridine 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 Viridine chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Vesuvianite- Ca10(Mg,Fe)2Al4(SiO4)5(Si2O7)2(OH)4
• Chemical formula of Viridine- (Al,Mn3+ ) 2SiO 4OGemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Vesuvianite and Viridine Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Vesuvianite and Viridine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Vesuvianite and Viridine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Vesuvianite is 3.05-3.21 whereas that of Viridine is 3.05-3.21.
