Sulphur and Seraphinite Physical Properties

Sulphur and Seraphinite Chemical Formula

While comparing Sulphur and Seraphinite 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 Sulphur and Seraphinite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Sulphur- SWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)
• Chemical formula of Seraphinite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 5Al(Si 3Al)O 10(OH) 8Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Sulphur and Seraphinite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sulphur and Seraphinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sulphur and Seraphinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sulphur is 2.60-3.02 whereas that of Seraphinite is 2.60-3.02.
