Pollucite and Plasma Chemical Formula

While comparing Pollucite and Plasma 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 Pollucite and Plasma chemical formula.

Pollucite and Plasma Specific Gravity

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