Forsterite and Magnetite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Forsterite and Magnetite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Forsterite Vs Magnetite during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Forsterite is whereas that of Magnetite is .
