While comparing Schorlomite and Cordierite 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 Schorlomite and Cordierite Iolite chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Schorlomite and Cordierite Iolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Schorlomite and Cordierite Iolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Schorlomite is 2.56-2.66 whereas that of Cordierite Iolite is 2.56-2.66.
