Zektzerite and Grossular Physical Properties

Zektzerite and Grossular Chemical Formula

While comparing Zektzerite and Grossular 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 Zektzerite and Grossular chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Zektzerite- LiNa(Zr,Ti,Hf)Si 6O 15Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
• Chemical formula of Grossular- Ca 3Al 2(SiO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Zektzerite and Grossular Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Zektzerite and Grossular Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Zektzerite and Grossular Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Zektzerite is 3.55-3.73 whereas that of Grossular is 3.55-3.73.
