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

Euclase and Cristinite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Cristinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Cristinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 2.6-3.6 whereas that of Cristinite is 2.6-3.6.
