Nephrite and Geodes Physical Properties

Nephrite and Geodes Chemical Formula

While comparing Nephrite and Geodes 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 Nephrite and Geodes chemical formula.

Nephrite and Geodes Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Nephrite and Geodes Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Nephrite and Geodes Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Nephrite is Not Available whereas that of Geodes is Not Available.
