Prase and Seraphinite Chemical Formula

While comparing Prase and Seraphinite 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 Seraphinite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Prase- SiO 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Seraphinite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 5Al(Si 3Al)O 10(OH) 8Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Prase and Seraphinite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prase and Seraphinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prase and Seraphinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prase is 2.60-3.02 whereas that of Seraphinite is 2.60-3.02.
