Cerussite and Spessartine Specific Gravity

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