Calcite and Tantalite Specific Gravity

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