Leucite and Tektite Specific Gravity

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