Dioptase and Geodes Chemical Formula

While comparing Dioptase and Geodes 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 Dioptase and Geodes chemical formula.

Dioptase and Geodes Specific Gravity

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