Eosphorite and Fuchsite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Eosphorite and Fuchsite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Eosphorite and Fuchsite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Eosphorite is 2.77-2.88 whereas that of Fuchsite is 2.77-2.88.
