Kunzite and Leucite Specific Gravity

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