While comparing Pearl and Selenite 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 Pearl and Selenite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pearl and Selenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pearl and Selenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pearl is Not Available whereas that of Selenite is Not Available.
