Cuprite and Oligoclase Specific Gravity

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