Euclase and Aragonite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Aragonite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Aragonite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 2.93-2.96 whereas that of Aragonite is 2.93-2.96.
