Euclase and Nepheline Chemical Formula

While comparing Euclase and Nepheline 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 Nepheline chemical formula.

Euclase and Nepheline Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Nepheline Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Nepheline Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 2.55-2.65 whereas that of Nepheline is 2.55-2.65.
