Xonotlite Vs Cavansite Luster

A primary knowledge about Xonotlite vs Cavansite 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. Xonotlite exhibits Silky and Vitreous luster. Cavansite, on other hand, exhibits Pearly and Vitreous luster.
