Chromite and Jasper Chemical Formula

While comparing Chromite and Jasper 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 Chromite and Jasper chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Chromite- Fe++Cr2O4
  • Chemical formula of Jasper- SiO2

Chromite and Jasper Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chromite and Jasper Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chromite and Jasper Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chromite is 2.58-2.91 whereas that of Jasper is 2.58-2.91.
