While comparing Caledonite and Brucite 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 Caledonite and Brucite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Caledonite and Brucite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Caledonite and Brucite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Caledonite is 2.39 whereas that of Brucite is 2.39.
