While comparing Orthoclase and Andradite 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 Orthoclase and Andradite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Orthoclase and Andradite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Orthoclase and Andradite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Orthoclase is 3.70-4.10 whereas that of Andradite is 3.70-4.10.
