Microcline and Sard Physical Properties

Microcline and Sard Chemical Formula

While comparing Microcline and Sard 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 Microcline and Sard chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Sard- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Microcline and Sard Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Microcline and Sard Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Microcline and Sard Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Microcline is 2.58-2.63 whereas that of Sard is 2.58-2.63.
