Euclase and Pyrite Marcasite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Pyrite Marcasite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Pyrite Marcasite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 4.9-5.2 whereas that of Pyrite Marcasite is 4.9-5.2.
