Geodes and Quartz Physical Properties

Geodes and Quartz Chemical Formula

While comparing Geodes and Quartz 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 Quartz chemical formula.

Geodes and Quartz Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Geodes and Quartz Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Geodes and Quartz Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Geodes is 2.65 whereas that of Quartz is 2.65.
