Chambersite and Periclase Chemical Formula

While comparing Chambersite and Periclase 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 Periclase chemical formula.

Chambersite and Periclase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chambersite and Periclase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chambersite and Periclase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chambersite is 3.7-3.9 whereas that of Periclase is 3.7-3.9.
