Hematite and Scheelite Chemical Formula
While comparing Hematite and Scheelite 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 Hematite and Scheelite chemical formula.

Hematite and Scheelite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hematite and Scheelite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hematite and Scheelite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hematite is 5.9-6.3 whereas that of Scheelite is 5.9-6.3.
