Euclase and Anhydrite Physical Properties

Euclase and Anhydrite Chemical Formula

While comparing Euclase and Anhydrite 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 Euclase and Anhydrite chemical formula.

Euclase and Anhydrite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Anhydrite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Anhydrite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 2.90-2.98 whereas that of Anhydrite is 2.90-2.98.
