Lepidocrocite and Sugilite Chemical Formula
While comparing Lepidocrocite and Sugilite 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 Lepidocrocite and Sugilite chemical formula.

Lepidocrocite and Sugilite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Lepidocrocite and Sugilite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Lepidocrocite and Sugilite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Lepidocrocite is 2.69-2.79 whereas that of Sugilite is 2.69-2.79.
