Euclase and Carnallite Chemical Formula
While comparing Euclase and Carnallite 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 Carnallite chemical formula.

Euclase and Carnallite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Carnallite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Carnallite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 1.6 whereas that of Carnallite is 1.6.
