Viridine and Pietersite Chemical Formula
While comparing Viridine and Pietersite 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 Pietersite chemical formula.

Viridine and Pietersite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Viridine and Pietersite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Viridine and Pietersite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Viridine is Not Available whereas that of Pietersite is Not Available.
