Coral and Quartz Physical Properties

Coral and Quartz Chemical Formula

While comparing Coral and Quartz 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 Coral and Quartz chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Quartz- SiO₂

Coral and Quartz Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Coral and Quartz Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Coral and Quartz Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Coral is 2.65 whereas that of Quartz is 2.65.
