Cryolite and Cordierite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cryolite and Cordierite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cryolite Vs Cordierite during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cryolite is whereas that of Cordierite is .
