Kyanite and Girasol Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Kyanite and Girasol Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Kyanite and Girasol Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Kyanite is 1.98-2.50 whereas that of Girasol is 1.98-2.50.
