  • Chemical formula of Agate- SiO2

Grossular and Agate Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Grossular and Agate Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Grossular and Agate Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Grossular is 2.60-2.64 whereas that of Agate is 2.60-2.64.
