Cassiterite and Sulfur Specific Gravity

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