Chambersite and Oligoclase Chemical Formula

While comparing Chambersite and Oligoclase 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 Oligoclase chemical formula.

Chambersite and Oligoclase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chambersite and Oligoclase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chambersite and Oligoclase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chambersite is 2.62-2.67 whereas that of Oligoclase is 2.62-2.67.
