While comparing Howlite and Bertrandite 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 Howlite and Bertrandite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Howlite and Bertrandite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Howlite and Bertrandite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Howlite is 2.59-2.60 whereas that of Bertrandite is 2.59-2.60.
