Goethite and Copper Specific Gravity

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