Heliotrope and Humite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Heliotrope and Humite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Heliotrope Vs Humite during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Heliotrope is whereas that of Humite is .
