Cryolite and Dioptase Chemical Formula

While comparing Cryolite and Dioptase 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 Cryolite and Dioptase chemical formula.

Cryolite and Dioptase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cryolite and Dioptase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cryolite and Dioptase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cryolite is 3.25-3.35 whereas that of Dioptase is 3.25-3.35.
