Williamsite and Agate Physical Properties

Williamsite and Agate Chemical Formula

While comparing Williamsite and Agate 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 Williamsite and Agate chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Williamsite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 3Si 2O 5(OH) 4Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
• Chemical formula of Agate- SiO₂

Williamsite and Agate Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Williamsite and Agate Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Williamsite and Agate Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Williamsite is 2.60-2.64 whereas that of Agate is 2.60-2.64.
