- Chemical formula of Sard- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Charlesite and Sard Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Charlesite and Sard Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Charlesite and Sard Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Charlesite is 2.58-2.63 whereas that of Sard is 2.58-2.63.
