While comparing Pectolite and Siderite 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 Pectolite and Siderite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pectolite and Siderite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pectolite and Siderite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pectolite is 3.83-3.89 whereas that of Siderite is 3.83-3.89.
