While comparing Hessonite and Gaspite 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 Hessonite and Gaspite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hessonite and Gaspite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hessonite and Gaspite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hessonite is 3.21 whereas that of Gaspite is 3.21.
