Feldspar and Zoisite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Feldspar and Zoisite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Feldspar and Zoisite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Feldspar is 3.20-3.50 whereas that of Zoisite is 3.20-3.50.
