Lazurite and Inderite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Lazurite and Inderite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Lazurite and Inderite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Lazurite is 1.79 whereas that of Inderite is 1.79.
