While comparing Iddingsite and Cassiterite 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 Iddingsite and Cassiterite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Iddingsite and Cassiterite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Iddingsite and Cassiterite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Iddingsite is 6.86-7.03 whereas that of Cassiterite is 6.86-7.03.
