Gedrite and Scorodite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gedrite and Scorodite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gedrite and Scorodite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gedrite is Not Available whereas that of Scorodite is Not Available.
