Seraphinite and Pietersite Physical Properties

Seraphinite and Pietersite Chemical Formula

While comparing Seraphinite and Pietersite 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 Pietersite chemical formula.

Seraphinite and Pietersite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Seraphinite and Pietersite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Seraphinite and Pietersite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Seraphinite is Not Available whereas that of Pietersite is Not Available.
