While comparing Shungite and Garnet 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 Shungite and Garnet chemical formula.
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Shungite and Garnet Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Shungite and Garnet Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Shungite is 3.55-4.33 whereas that of Garnet is 3.55-4.33.
