While comparing Bornite and Rubellite 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 Bornite and Rubellite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Bornite and Rubellite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Bornite and Rubellite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Bornite is 3.01-3.06 whereas that of Rubellite is 3.01-3.06.
