- Chemical formula of Citrine- SiO2
Sogdianite and Citrine Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sogdianite and Citrine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sogdianite and Citrine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sogdianite is 2.65 whereas that of Citrine is 2.65.
