Mimetite and Sulphur Chemical Formula

While comparing Mimetite and Sulphur 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 Mimetite and Sulphur chemical formula.

Mimetite and Sulphur Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Mimetite and Sulphur Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Mimetite and Sulphur Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Mimetite is 2.05-2.08 whereas that of Sulphur is 2.05-2.08.
