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