Calcite and Moroxite Specific Gravity

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