Euclase and Rosasite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Rosasite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Rosasite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 4-4.2 whereas that of Rosasite is 4-4.2.
