While comparing Ettringite and Parisite 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 Ettringite and Parisite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Ettringite and Parisite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Ettringite and Parisite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Ettringite is 4.33-4.42 whereas that of Parisite is 4.33-4.42.
