Grossular and Magnetite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Grossular and Magnetite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Grossular and Magnetite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Grossular is 5.2 whereas that of Magnetite is 5.2.
