Euclase and Fluorite Physical Properties

Euclase and Fluorite Chemical Formula

While comparing Euclase and Fluorite 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 Fluorite chemical formula.

Euclase and Fluorite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Fluorite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Fluorite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 3.00-3.25 whereas that of Fluorite is 3.00-3.25.
