  • Chemical formula of Citrine- SiO2

Grossular and Citrine Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Grossular and Citrine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Grossular and Citrine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Grossular is 2.65 whereas that of Citrine is 2.65.
