Williamsite and Anatase Chemical Formula

While comparing Williamsite and Anatase 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 Williamsite and Anatase chemical formula.

Williamsite and Anatase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Williamsite and Anatase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Williamsite and Anatase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Williamsite is 3.82-3.97 whereas that of Anatase is 3.82-3.97.
