  • Chemical formula of Chondrodite- (Mg,Fe) 5(SiO 4) 2(F,OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Copper and Chondrodite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Copper and Chondrodite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Copper and Chondrodite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Copper is 3.10-3.20 whereas that of Chondrodite is 3.10-3.20.
