Prase and Larvikite Physical Properties

Prase and Larvikite Chemical Formula

While comparing Prase and Larvikite 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 Larvikite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Prase- SiO 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
• Chemical formula of Larvikite- (Na,Ca)2(Fe2+,Mg)3Si3O10

Prase and Larvikite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prase and Larvikite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prase and Larvikite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prase is 2.59 whereas that of Larvikite is 2.59.
