Viridine and Chrysotile Chemical Formula

While comparing Viridine and Chrysotile 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 Viridine and Chrysotile chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Viridine- (Al,Mn3+ ) 2SiO 4OGemdat.org , Management Team (2012)
  • Chemical formula of Chrysotile- Mg 3(Si 2O 5)(OH) 4Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Viridine and Chrysotile Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Viridine and Chrysotile Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Viridine and Chrysotile Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Viridine is 2.51-2.63 whereas that of Chrysotile is 2.51-2.63.
