Leucite and Dolomite Specific Gravity

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