While comparing Galena and Agate 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 Galena and Agate chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Galena and Agate Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Galena and Agate Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Galena is 2.60-2.64 whereas that of Agate is 2.60-2.64.
