While comparing Microcline and Phosphophyllite 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 Microcline and Phosphophyllite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Microcline and Phosphophyllite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Microcline and Phosphophyllite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Microcline is 3.07-3.13 whereas that of Phosphophyllite is 3.07-3.13.
