Langbeinite and Seraphinite Chemical Formula
While comparing Langbeinite and Seraphinite 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 Langbeinite and Seraphinite chemical formula.

Langbeinite and Seraphinite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Langbeinite and Seraphinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Langbeinite and Seraphinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Langbeinite is 2.60-3.02 whereas that of Seraphinite is 2.60-3.02.
