Forsterite and Euclase Chemical Formula

While comparing Forsterite and Euclase 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 Forsterite and Euclase chemical formula.

Forsterite and Euclase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Forsterite and Euclase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Forsterite and Euclase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Forsterite is 3.08-3.12 whereas that of Euclase is 3.08-3.12.
