While comparing Powellite and Verdelite 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 Verdelite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Powellite and Verdelite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Powellite and Verdelite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Powellite is 2.90-3.40 whereas that of Verdelite is 2.90-3.40.
