Amber and Hydrophane Chemical Formula

While comparing Amber and Hydrophane 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 Amber and Hydrophane chemical formula.

Amber and Hydrophane Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amber and Hydrophane Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amber and Hydrophane Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amber is 1.98-2.50 whereas that of Hydrophane is 1.98-2.50.
