Xenotime and Brookite Chemical Formula
While comparing Xenotime and Brookite 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 Xenotime and Brookite chemical formula.

Xenotime and Brookite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Xenotime and Brookite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Xenotime and Brookite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Xenotime is 3.87-4.14 whereas that of Brookite is 3.87-4.14.
