Selenite and Plasma Physical Properties

Selenite and Plasma Chemical Formula

While comparing Selenite 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 Selenite and Plasma chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Selenite- CaSO4·2H2O
• Chemical formula of Plasma- Cu9(AsO4)2(OH)10

Selenite and Plasma Specific Gravity

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