Dravite and Prase Chemical Formula

While comparing Dravite and Prase 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 Dravite and Prase chemical formula.

Dravite and Prase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Dravite and Prase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Dravite and Prase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Dravite is 2.64-2.69 whereas that of Prase is 2.64-2.69.
