While comparing Chromite and Quartz 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 Chromite and Quartz chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chromite and Quartz Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chromite and Quartz Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chromite is 2.65 whereas that of Quartz is 2.65.
