Turquoise and Euclase Chemical Formula

While comparing Turquoise and Euclase 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 Turquoise and Euclase chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Turquoise- CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8 • 4H2O
  • Chemical formula of Euclase- BeAlSiO 4(OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references

Turquoise and Euclase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Turquoise and Euclase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Turquoise and Euclase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Turquoise is 3.08-3.12 whereas that of Euclase is 3.08-3.12.
