While comparing Bastnsite and Rhodolite 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 Bastnsite and Rhodolite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Bastnsite and Rhodolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Bastnsite and Rhodolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Bastnsite is 3.84 whereas that of Rhodolite is 3.84.
