While comparing Mother of Pearl and Prehnite 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 Mother of Pearl and Prehnite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Mother of Pearl and Prehnite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Mother of Pearl and Prehnite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Mother of Pearl is 2.80-2.95 whereas that of Prehnite is 2.80-2.95.
