Viridine and Vesuvianite Chemical Formula

While comparing Viridine and Vesuvianite 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 Vesuvianite chemical formula.

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

Viridine and Vesuvianite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Viridine and Vesuvianite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Viridine and Vesuvianite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Viridine is 3.32-3.43 whereas that of Vesuvianite is 3.32-3.43.
