Charoite and Langbeinite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Charoite and Langbeinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Charoite and Langbeinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Charoite is whereas that of Langbeinite is .
