While comparing Spessartine and Alexandrite 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 Spessartine and Alexandrite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Spessartine and Alexandrite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Spessartine and Alexandrite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Spessartine is 3.69-3.81 whereas that of Alexandrite is 3.69-3.81.
