Cinnabar and Helenite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cinnabar and Helenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cinnabar and Helenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cinnabar is Not Available whereas that of Helenite is Not Available.
