Zircon and Sulphur Physical Properties

Zircon and Sulphur Chemical Formula

While comparing Zircon and Sulphur 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 Zircon and Sulphur chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Zircon- ZrSiO₄
• Chemical formula of Sulphur- SWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Zircon and Sulphur Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Zircon and Sulphur Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Zircon and Sulphur Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Zircon is 2.05-2.08 whereas that of Sulphur is 2.05-2.08.
