Prase and Fluorite Physical Properties

Prase and Fluorite Chemical Formula

While comparing Prase and Fluorite 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 Prase and Fluorite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Prase- SiO 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
• Chemical formula of Fluorite- CaF₂

Prase and Fluorite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prase and Fluorite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prase and Fluorite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prase is 3.00-3.25 whereas that of Fluorite is 3.00-3.25.
