Bastnsite and Uvite Physical Properties

Bastnsite and Uvite Chemical Formula

While comparing Bastnsite and Uvite 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 Uvite chemical formula.

Bastnsite and Uvite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Bastnsite and Uvite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Bastnsite and Uvite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Bastnsite is 2.97-3.14 whereas that of Uvite is 2.97-3.14.
