Prase and Foitite Chemical Formula

While comparing Prase and Foitite 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 Foitite chemical formula.

Prase and Foitite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prase and Foitite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prase and Foitite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prase is 3.17 whereas that of Foitite is 3.17.
