Bornite and Cerussite Specific Gravity

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