  • Chemical formula of Euclase- BeAlSiO 4(OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references

Chrysoberyl and Euclase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chrysoberyl and Euclase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chrysoberyl and Euclase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chrysoberyl is 3.08-3.12 whereas that of Euclase is 3.08-3.12.
