Quartz and Plasma Physical Properties

Quartz and Plasma Chemical Formula

While comparing Quartz and Plasma 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 Plasma chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Quartz- SiO₂
• Chemical formula of Plasma- Cu9(AsO4)2(OH)10

Quartz and Plasma Specific Gravity

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