  • Chemical formula of Childrenite- (Fe,Mn)AlPO 4(OH) 2 -H 2OArthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Prase and Childrenite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prase and Childrenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prase and Childrenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prase is 3.06-3.25 whereas that of Childrenite is 3.06-3.25.
