Agate and Cryolite Chemical Formula
While comparing Agate and Cryolite 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 Agate and Cryolite chemical formula.

- Chemical formula of Cryolite- Na 3AlF 6Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Agate and Cryolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Agate and Cryolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Agate and Cryolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Agate is 2.97 whereas that of Cryolite is 2.97.
