Binghamite and Scorodite Chemical Formula
While comparing Binghamite and Scorodite 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 Binghamite and Scorodite chemical formula.

Binghamite and Scorodite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Binghamite and Scorodite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Binghamite and Scorodite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Binghamite is Not Available whereas that of Scorodite is Not Available.
