Sapphire and Marble Physical Properties

Sapphire and Marble Chemical Formula

While comparing Sapphire and Marble 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 Sapphire and Marble chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Sapphire- Al ₂ O ₃
• Chemical formula of Marble- CaCO3

Sapphire and Marble Specific Gravity

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