While comparing Demantoid and Shigaite 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 Demantoid and Shigaite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Demantoid and Shigaite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Demantoid and Shigaite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Demantoid is 2.32 whereas that of Shigaite is 2.32.
