Prase and Sunstone Chemical Formula

While comparing Prase and Sunstone 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 Sunstone chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Prase- SiO 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Sunstone- Microcline: KAlSi3O8 Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8

Prase and Sunstone Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prase and Sunstone Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prase and Sunstone Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prase is 2.62-2.65 whereas that of Sunstone is 2.62-2.65.
