Glass and Mimetite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Glass and Mimetite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Glass and Mimetite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Glass is 7.10 whereas that of Mimetite is 7.10.
