Euclase and Poudretteite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Poudretteite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Poudretteite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 2.51-2.53 whereas that of Poudretteite is 2.51-2.53.
