  • Chemical formula of Sard- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Variscite and Sard Specific Gravity

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