Glass and Seraphinite Physical Properties

Glass and Seraphinite Chemical Formula

While comparing Glass and Seraphinite 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 Glass and Seraphinite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Glass- SiO₂
• Chemical formula of Seraphinite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 5Al(Si 3Al)O 10(OH) 8Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Glass and Seraphinite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Glass and Seraphinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Glass and Seraphinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Glass is 2.60-3.02 whereas that of Seraphinite is 2.60-3.02.
