- Chemical formula of Black Opal- SiO 2 + H 2OUlrich Henn and Claudio C.
Copper and Black Opal Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Copper and Black Opal Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Copper and Black Opal Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Copper is 1.97-2.22 whereas that of Black Opal is 1.97-2.22.
