Ekanite and Rossmanite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Ekanite and Rossmanite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Ekanite and Rossmanite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Ekanite is 3 whereas that of Rossmanite is 3.
