Hematite and Pyrope Specific Gravity

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