While comparing Clinochlore and Hanksite 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 Clinochlore and Hanksite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Clinochlore and Hanksite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Clinochlore and Hanksite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Clinochlore is 2.562 whereas that of Hanksite is 2.562.
