Phosgenite and Chrysoprase Chemical Formula

While comparing Phosgenite and Chrysoprase 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 Phosgenite and Chrysoprase chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Phosgenite- Pb 2(CO 3)Cl 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references
  • Chemical formula of Chrysoprase- SiO2 (with a high level of nickel impurities )

Phosgenite and Chrysoprase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Phosgenite and Chrysoprase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Phosgenite and Chrysoprase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Phosgenite is 2.58-2.64 whereas that of Chrysoprase is 2.58-2.64.
