Geodes and Calcite Chemical Formula

While comparing Geodes and Calcite 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 Geodes and Calcite chemical formula.

Geodes and Calcite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Geodes and Calcite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Geodes and Calcite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Geodes is 2.67-2.73 whereas that of Calcite is 2.67-2.73.
