Apatite and Strontium Titanate Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Apatite and Strontium Titanate Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Apatite and Strontium Titanate Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Apatite is 5.11-5.15 whereas that of Strontium Titanate is 5.11-5.15.
