Cerussite and Feldspar Physical Properties

Cerussite and Feldspar Chemical Formula

While comparing Cerussite and Feldspar 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 Cerussite and Feldspar chemical formula.

Cerussite and Feldspar Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cerussite and Feldspar Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cerussite and Feldspar Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cerussite is 2.56-2.75 whereas that of Feldspar is 2.56-2.75.
