Goshenite and Phosgenite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Goshenite and Phosgenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Goshenite and Phosgenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Goshenite is 6.13 whereas that of Phosgenite is 6.13.
