Viridine and Uvite Physical Properties

Viridine and Uvite Chemical Formula

While comparing Viridine and Uvite 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 Uvite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Viridine- (Al,Mn3+ ) 2SiO 4OGemdat.org , Management Team (2012)
• Chemical formula of Uvite- Ca(Mg 3)MgAl 5(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Viridine and Uvite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Viridine and Uvite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Viridine and Uvite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Viridine is 2.97-3.14 whereas that of Uvite is 2.97-3.14.
