Selenite and Sulfur Physical Properties

Selenite and Sulfur Chemical Formula

While comparing Selenite and Sulfur 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 Sulfur chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Selenite- CaSO4·2H2O
• Chemical formula of Sulfur- S8

Selenite and Sulfur Specific Gravity

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