Elaeolite and Shortite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Elaeolite and Shortite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Elaeolite and Shortite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Elaeolite is 2.61 whereas that of Shortite is 2.61.
