Euclase and Scorzalite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Euclase and Scorzalite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Euclase and Scorzalite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Euclase is 3.31 whereas that of Scorzalite is 3.31.
