While comparing Erythrite and Spinel 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 Erythrite and Spinel chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Erythrite and Spinel Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Erythrite and Spinel Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Erythrite is 3.64-3.66 whereas that of Spinel is 3.64-3.66.
