While comparing Celestine and Witherite 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 Celestine and Witherite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Celestine and Witherite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Celestine and Witherite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Celestine is 4.27-4.35 whereas that of Witherite is 4.27-4.35.
