While comparing Lawsonite and Bastnasite 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 Lawsonite and Bastnasite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Lawsonite and Bastnasite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Lawsonite and Bastnasite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Lawsonite is 4.95-5.0 whereas that of Bastnasite is 4.95-5.0.
