While comparing Witherite and Spinel 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 Witherite and Spinel chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Witherite and Spinel Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Witherite and Spinel Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Witherite is 3.64-3.66 whereas that of Spinel is 3.64-3.66.
