Larvikite and Anatase Physical Properties

Larvikite and Anatase Chemical Formula

While comparing Larvikite and Anatase 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 Larvikite and Anatase chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Anatase- TiO 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth edition (2006) More from other references

Larvikite and Anatase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Larvikite and Anatase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Larvikite and Anatase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Larvikite is 3.82-3.97 whereas that of Anatase is 3.82-3.97.
