Richterite Vs Crocoite Luster

A primary knowledge about Richterite vs Crocoite luster is useful in apparent identifications of these gemstones.

Since luster varies between two crystals of even the same gemstone, luster is limited to basic identification criteria. Richterite exhibits Vitreous luster. Crocoite, on other hand, exhibits Adamantine luster.
