While comparing Glass and Gypsum 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 Glass and Gypsum chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Glass and Gypsum Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Glass and Gypsum Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Glass is 2.20-2.40 whereas that of Gypsum is 2.20-2.40.
