Baryte and Uvarovite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Baryte and Uvarovite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Baryte and Uvarovite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Baryte is 3.77 whereas that of Uvarovite is 3.77.
