Serendibite and Hyalite Chemical Formula
While comparing Serendibite and Hyalite 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 Serendibite and Hyalite chemical formula.

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