Uvarovite and Quartz Chemical Formula

While comparing Uvarovite and Quartz 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 Quartz chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Uvarovite- Ca 3Cr 2(SiO 4) 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Quartz- SiO2

Uvarovite and Quartz Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Uvarovite and Quartz Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Uvarovite and Quartz Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Uvarovite is 2.65 whereas that of Quartz is 2.65.
