Zoisite and Sard Physical Properties

Zoisite and Sard Chemical Formula

While comparing Zoisite and Sard 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 Zoisite and Sard chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Zoisite- Ca₂Al₃(SiO₄)₃(OH)
• Chemical formula of Sard- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Zoisite and Sard Specific Gravity

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