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

Chrysocolla and Euclase Specific Gravity

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