Agate and Sulphur Physical Properties

Agate and Sulphur Chemical Formula

While comparing Agate and Sulphur 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 Sulphur chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Agate- SiO₂
• Chemical formula of Sulphur- SWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Agate and Sulphur Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Agate and Sulphur Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Agate and Sulphur Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Agate is 2.05-2.08 whereas that of Sulphur is 2.05-2.08.
