  • Chemical formula of Chambersite- Mn 3B 7O 13ClMichael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Quartz and Chambersite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Quartz and Chambersite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Quartz and Chambersite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Quartz is 3.50 whereas that of Chambersite is 3.50.
