Goldstone and Shattuckite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Goldstone and Shattuckite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Goldstone and Shattuckite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Goldstone is 3.80-4.15 whereas that of Shattuckite is 3.80-4.15.
