Euclase and Pyrope Garnet Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Pyrope Garnet Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Pyrope Garnet Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 3.5-3.6 whereas that of Pyrope Garnet is 3.5-3.6.
