Chrysoberyl and Jasper Chemical Formula
While comparing Chrysoberyl 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 Chrysoberyl and Jasper chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Chrysoberyl- BeAl 2 O 4
- Chemical formula of Jasper- SiO2
Chrysoberyl and Jasper Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chrysoberyl and Jasper Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chrysoberyl and Jasper Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chrysoberyl is 2.58-2.91 whereas that of Jasper is 2.58-2.91.
