Quartz and Jasper Chemical Formula

While comparing Quartz and Jasper 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 Quartz and Jasper chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Quartz- SiO2
  • Chemical formula of Jasper- SiO2

Quartz and Jasper Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Quartz and Jasper Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Quartz and Jasper Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Quartz is 2.58-2.91 whereas that of Jasper is 2.58-2.91.
