Moonstone and Coral Chemical Formula

While comparing Moonstone and Coral 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 Moonstone and Coral chemical formula.

Moonstone and Coral Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moonstone and Coral Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moonstone and Coral Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moonstone is 2.60-2.70 whereas that of Coral is 2.60-2.70.
