Chabazite and Prase Chemical Formula
While comparing Chabazite and Prase 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 Chabazite and Prase chemical formula.

Chabazite and Prase Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chabazite and Prase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chabazite and Prase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chabazite is 2.64-2.69 whereas that of Prase is 2.64-2.69.
