Jasper and Quartz Chemical Formula

While comparing Jasper 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 Jasper and Quartz chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Jasper- SiO2
  • Chemical formula of Quartz- SiO2

Jasper and Quartz Specific Gravity

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