Howlite and Howlite Chemical Formula

While comparing Howlite and Howlite 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 Howlite chemical formula.

Howlite and Howlite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Howlite and Howlite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Howlite and Howlite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Howlite is 2.45-2.58 whereas that of Howlite is 2.45-2.58.
