Lazurite and Hydrogrossular Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Lazurite and Hydrogrossular Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Lazurite and Hydrogrossular Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Lazurite is 3.25-3.40 whereas that of Hydrogrossular is 3.25-3.40.
