Euclase and Steatite Chemical Formula

While comparing Euclase and Steatite 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 Steatite chemical formula.

Euclase and Steatite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Steatite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Steatite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 2.20-2.80 whereas that of Steatite is 2.20-2.80.
