Carnelian and Morion Chemical Formula
While comparing Carnelian and Morion 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 Carnelian and Morion chemical formula.

Carnelian and Morion Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Carnelian and Morion Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Carnelian and Morion Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Carnelian is 2.65 whereas that of Morion is 2.65.
