Whitlockite and Sulfur Chemical Formula
While comparing Whitlockite 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 Whitlockite and Sulfur chemical formula.

Whitlockite and Sulfur Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Whitlockite and Sulfur Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Whitlockite and Sulfur Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Whitlockite is Not Available whereas that of Sulfur is Not Available.
