Chromite and Meionite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chromite and Meionite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chromite and Meionite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chromite is 2.78 whereas that of Meionite is 2.78.
