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

Chambersite and Carnelian Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chambersite and Carnelian Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chambersite and Carnelian Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chambersite is 2.58-2.64 whereas that of Carnelian is 2.58-2.64.
