Agate and Lazulite Chemical Formula

While comparing Agate and Lazulite 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 Lazulite chemical formula.

Agate and Lazulite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Agate and Lazulite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Agate and Lazulite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Agate is 3.04-3.17 whereas that of Lazulite is 3.04-3.17.
