Euclase and Binghamite Chemical Formula

While comparing Euclase and Binghamite 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 Binghamite chemical formula.

Euclase and Binghamite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Binghamite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Binghamite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 2.55-2.70 whereas that of Binghamite is 2.55-2.70.
