Kunzite and Tektite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Kunzite and Tektite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Kunzite and Tektite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Kunzite is 2.34-2.51 whereas that of Tektite is 2.34-2.51.
