Adularia and Morion Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Adularia and Morion Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Adularia and Morion Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Adularia is 2.65 whereas that of Morion is 2.65.
