Hydrogrossular and Chabazite Chemical Formula
While comparing Hydrogrossular and Chabazite 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 Hydrogrossular and Chabazite chemical formula.

Hydrogrossular and Chabazite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hydrogrossular and Chabazite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hydrogrossular and Chabazite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hydrogrossular is 2.08-2.16 whereas that of Chabazite is 2.08-2.16.
