Eosphorite and Seraphinite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Eosphorite and Seraphinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Eosphorite and Seraphinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Eosphorite is 2.60-3.02 whereas that of Seraphinite is 2.60-3.02.
