Rutilated Quartz and Quartz Physical Properties

Rutilated Quartz and Quartz Chemical Formula

While comparing Rutilated Quartz and Quartz 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 Rutilated Quartz and Quartz chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Rutilated Quartz- Quartz: SiO₂ Rutile: TiO2
• Chemical formula of Quartz- SiO₂

Rutilated Quartz and Quartz Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rutilated Quartz and Quartz Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rutilated Quartz and Quartz Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rutilated Quartz is 2.65 whereas that of Quartz is 2.65.
