While comparing Powellite and Fuchsite 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 Powellite and Fuchsite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Powellite and Fuchsite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Powellite and Fuchsite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Powellite is 2.77-2.88 whereas that of Fuchsite is 2.77-2.88.
