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