Tanzanite and Sard Physical Properties

Tanzanite and Sard Chemical Formula

While comparing Tanzanite 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 Tanzanite and Sard chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Tanzanite- Ca₂Al₃(SiO₄)₃(OH)
• Chemical formula of Sard- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Tanzanite and Sard Specific Gravity

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