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

Seraphinite and Sard Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Seraphinite and Sard Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Seraphinite and Sard Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Seraphinite is 2.58-2.63 whereas that of Sard is 2.58-2.63.
