While comparing Hurlbutite and Calcite 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 Hurlbutite and Calcite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hurlbutite and Calcite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hurlbutite and Calcite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hurlbutite is 2.67-2.73 whereas that of Calcite is 2.67-2.73.
