Scolecite Vs Rhodolite Luster

A primary knowledge about Scolecite vs Rhodolite 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. Scolecite exhibits Vitreous and Silky luster. Rhodolite, on other hand, exhibits Greasy and Vitreous luster.
