While comparing Howlite and Poldervaartite 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 Poldervaartite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Howlite and Poldervaartite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Howlite and Poldervaartite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Howlite is 2.91 whereas that of Poldervaartite is 2.91.
