Jasper and Amethyst Chemical Formula
While comparing Jasper and Amethyst 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 Jasper and Amethyst chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Jasper- SiO2
- Chemical formula of Amethyst- SiO2
Jasper and Amethyst Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Jasper and Amethyst Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Jasper and Amethyst Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Jasper is 2.65 whereas that of Amethyst is 2.65.
