While comparing Grandidierite and Chromite 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 Grandidierite and Chromite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Grandidierite and Chromite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Grandidierite and Chromite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Grandidierite is 4.5-4.8 whereas that of Chromite is 4.5-4.8.
