Chambersite and Wulfenite Chemical Formula
While comparing Chambersite and Wulfenite 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 Chambersite and Wulfenite chemical formula.

Chambersite and Wulfenite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chambersite and Wulfenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chambersite and Wulfenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chambersite is 6.50-7.00 whereas that of Wulfenite is 6.50-7.00.
