Quartz and Sulphur Physical Properties

Quartz and Sulphur Chemical Formula

While comparing Quartz and Sulphur 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 Sulphur chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Sulphur- SWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Quartz and Sulphur Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Quartz and Sulphur Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Quartz and Sulphur Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Quartz is 2.05-2.08 whereas that of Sulphur is 2.05-2.08.
