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

Euclase and Prismatine Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Prismatine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Prismatine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 3.34 whereas that of Prismatine is 3.34.
