Anglesite and Jacobsite Chemical Formula
While comparing Anglesite and Jacobsite 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 Anglesite and Jacobsite chemical formula.

Anglesite and Jacobsite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Anglesite and Jacobsite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Anglesite and Jacobsite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Anglesite is 4.76-5.03 whereas that of Jacobsite is 4.76-5.03.
