Moissanite and Sulphur Chemical Formula

While comparing Moissanite and Sulphur 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 Moissanite and Sulphur chemical formula.

Moissanite and Sulphur Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moissanite and Sulphur Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moissanite and Sulphur Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moissanite is 2.05-2.08 whereas that of Sulphur is 2.05-2.08.
