While comparing Gahnospinel and Hanksite 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 Gahnospinel and Hanksite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gahnospinel and Hanksite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gahnospinel and Hanksite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gahnospinel is 2.562 whereas that of Hanksite is 2.562.
