Seraphinite and Rutile Chemical Formula

While comparing Seraphinite and Rutile 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 Rutile chemical formula.

Seraphinite and Rutile Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Seraphinite and Rutile Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Seraphinite and Rutile Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Seraphinite is 4.20-4.30 whereas that of Rutile is 4.20-4.30.
