Starlite and Xenotime Physical Properties

Starlite and Xenotime Chemical Formula

While comparing Starlite and Xenotime 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 Starlite and Xenotime chemical formula.

Starlite and Xenotime Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Starlite and Xenotime Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Starlite and Xenotime Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Starlite is 4.30-5.10 whereas that of Xenotime is 4.30-5.10.
