Cinnabar and Cubic Zirconia Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cinnabar and Cubic Zirconia Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cinnabar and Cubic Zirconia Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cinnabar is 5.50-6.00 whereas that of Cubic Zirconia is 5.50-6.00.
