Poldervaartite and Goshenite Chemical Formula
While comparing Poldervaartite and Goshenite 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 Poldervaartite and Goshenite chemical formula.

Poldervaartite and Goshenite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Poldervaartite and Goshenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Poldervaartite and Goshenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Poldervaartite is 2.60-2.90 whereas that of Goshenite is 2.60-2.90.
