Brookite and Hyalite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Brookite and Hyalite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Brookite and Hyalite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Brookite is Not Available whereas that of Hyalite is Not Available.
