Selenite and Boleite Chemical Formula
While comparing Selenite and Boleite 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 Selenite and Boleite chemical formula.

Selenite and Boleite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Selenite and Boleite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Selenite and Boleite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Selenite is 5.05 whereas that of Boleite is 5.05.
