Cryolite and Zircon Chemical Formula

While comparing Cryolite and Zircon 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 Zircon chemical formula.

Cryolite and Zircon Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cryolite and Zircon Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cryolite and Zircon Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cryolite is 3.93-4.73 whereas that of Zircon is 3.93-4.73.
