Leucite and Padparadscha Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Leucite and Padparadscha Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Leucite and Padparadscha Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Leucite is 3.95-4.10 whereas that of Padparadscha is 3.95-4.10.
