Lazurite and Goldstone Chemical Formula
While comparing Lazurite and Goldstone 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 Lazurite and Goldstone chemical formula.

Lazurite and Goldstone Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Lazurite and Goldstone Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Lazurite and Goldstone Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Lazurite is 2.50-2.80 whereas that of Goldstone is 2.50-2.80.
