Gaylussite and Euclase Physical Properties

Gaylussite and Euclase Chemical Formula

While comparing Gaylussite 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 Gaylussite and Euclase chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Gaylussite- Na2Ca(CO3)2•5(H2O)
• Chemical formula of Euclase- BeAlSiO 4(OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references

Gaylussite and Euclase Specific Gravity

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