Carnelian and Plasma Physical Properties

Carnelian and Plasma Chemical Formula

While comparing Carnelian and Plasma 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 Plasma chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Carnelian- SiO₂
• Chemical formula of Plasma- Cu9(AsO4)2(OH)10

Carnelian and Plasma Specific Gravity

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