Lawsonite and Anatase Chemical Formula

While comparing Lawsonite 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 Lawsonite and Anatase chemical formula.

Lawsonite and Anatase Specific Gravity

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