Chalcopyrite and Hematite Specific Gravity

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