Uvarovite and Dravite Physical Properties

Uvarovite and Dravite Chemical Formula

While comparing Uvarovite and Dravite 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 Uvarovite and Dravite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Uvarovite- Ca 3Cr 2(SiO 4) 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Uvarovite and Dravite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Uvarovite and Dravite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Uvarovite and Dravite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Uvarovite is 3.03-3.18 whereas that of Dravite is 3.03-3.18.
