Erythrite and Erythrite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Erythrite and Erythrite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Erythrite and Erythrite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Erythrite is 3.06 whereas that of Erythrite is 3.06.
