Seraphinite and Agate Chemical Formula
While comparing Seraphinite and 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 Seraphinite and Agate chemical formula.

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