While comparing Hessonite and Larvikite 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 Larvikite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hessonite and Larvikite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hessonite and Larvikite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hessonite is 2.59 whereas that of Larvikite is 2.59.
