Cryolite and Humite Specific Gravity

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