Aragonite and Plasma Specific Gravity

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