Carnallite and Euclase Physical Properties

Carnallite and Euclase Chemical Formula

While comparing Carnallite and Euclase 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 Carnallite and Euclase chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Carnallite- KMgCl3•6(H2O)
• Chemical formula of Euclase- BeAlSiO 4(OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references

Carnallite and Euclase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Carnallite and Euclase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Carnallite and Euclase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Carnallite is 3.08-3.12 whereas that of Euclase is 3.08-3.12.
