Rhodolite and Scheelite Chemical Formula
While comparing Rhodolite and Scheelite 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 Rhodolite and Scheelite chemical formula.

Rhodolite and Scheelite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rhodolite and Scheelite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rhodolite and Scheelite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rhodolite is 5.9-6.3 whereas that of Scheelite is 5.9-6.3.
