Pearl and Seraphinite Physical Properties

Pearl and Seraphinite Chemical Formula

While comparing Pearl and Seraphinite 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 Pearl and Seraphinite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Pearl- CaCO3
• Chemical formula of Seraphinite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 5Al(Si 3Al)O 10(OH) 8Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Pearl and Seraphinite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pearl and Seraphinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pearl and Seraphinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pearl is 2.60-3.02 whereas that of Seraphinite is 2.60-3.02.
