It's really ancient, but Geological Society of America Special Paper 36, Handbook of Physical Constants edited by Birch, Schairer, and Spicer may be helpful. Obviously much of the stuff in it will probably have been superceded, and I suggest you inquire of the list for particular properties that some may have more up-to-date information about. Good luck!
