Rhyolite and Fire Agate Physical Properties

Rhyolite and Fire Agate Chemical Formula

While comparing Rhyolite and Fire Agate 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 Rhyolite and Fire Agate chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Rhyolite- 70% SiO2, Al2O3, Na2O, K2O
• Chemical formula of Fire Agate- SiO 2Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Rhyolite and Fire Agate Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rhyolite and Fire Agate Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rhyolite and Fire Agate Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rhyolite is 2.60-2.64 whereas that of Fire Agate is 2.60-2.64.
