  • Chemical formula of Coral- CaCO 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Chrysoprase and Coral Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chrysoprase and Coral Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chrysoprase and Coral Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chrysoprase is 2.60-2.70 whereas that of Coral is 2.60-2.70.
