While comparing Vermeil and Gypsum 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 Vermeil and Gypsum chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Vermeil and Gypsum Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Vermeil and Gypsum Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Vermeil is 2.20-2.40 whereas that of Gypsum is 2.20-2.40.
