Anatase and Williamsite Chemical Formula

While comparing Anatase and Williamsite 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 Anatase and Williamsite chemical formula.

Anatase and Williamsite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Anatase and Williamsite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Anatase and Williamsite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Anatase is 2.51-2.63 whereas that of Williamsite is 2.51-2.63.
