Pietersite and Anatase Physical Properties

Pietersite and Anatase Chemical Formula

While comparing Pietersite and Anatase 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 Pietersite and Anatase chemical formula.

Pietersite and Anatase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pietersite and Anatase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pietersite and Anatase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pietersite is 3.82-3.97 whereas that of Anatase is 3.82-3.97.
