While comparing Kainite and Iolite 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 Kainite and Iolite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Kainite and Iolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Kainite and Iolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Kainite is 2.6-2.7 whereas that of Iolite is 2.6-2.7.
