While comparing Musgravite and Astrophyllite 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 Musgravite and Astrophyllite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Musgravite and Astrophyllite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Musgravite and Astrophyllite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Musgravite is 3.2-3.4 whereas that of Astrophyllite is 3.2-3.4.
