Crocoite and Fibrolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Crocoite and Fibrolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Crocoite and Fibrolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Crocoite is 3.14-3.25 whereas that of Fibrolite is 3.14-3.25.
