Kutnohorite and Euclase Chemical Formula
While comparing Kutnohorite and Euclase 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 Kutnohorite and Euclase chemical formula.

Kutnohorite and Euclase Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Kutnohorite and Euclase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Kutnohorite and Euclase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Kutnohorite is 3.08-3.12 whereas that of Euclase is 3.08-3.12.
