Chiastolite and Microlite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chiastolite and Microlite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chiastolite and Microlite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chiastolite is 5.5 whereas that of Microlite is 5.5.
