- Chemical formula of Coral- CaCO 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Nepheline and Coral Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Nepheline and Coral Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Nepheline and Coral Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Nepheline is 2.60-2.70 whereas that of Coral is 2.60-2.70.
