While comparing Lawsonite and Riebeckite 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 Riebeckite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Lawsonite and Riebeckite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Lawsonite and Riebeckite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Lawsonite is 3.28-3.44 whereas that of Riebeckite is 3.28-3.44.
