Leucite and Fluorapatite Specific Gravity

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