Euclase and Cymophane Physical Properties

Euclase and Cymophane Chemical Formula

While comparing Euclase and Cymophane 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 Cymophane chemical formula.

Euclase and Cymophane Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Cymophane Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Cymophane Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 3.69-3.81 whereas that of Cymophane is 3.69-3.81.
