Piemontite and Musgravite Chemical Formula
While comparing Piemontite and Musgravite 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 Piemontite and Musgravite chemical formula.

Piemontite and Musgravite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Piemontite and Musgravite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Piemontite and Musgravite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Piemontite is 3.62-3.68 whereas that of Musgravite is 3.62-3.68.
