Cerussite and Hessonite Specific Gravity

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