Linarite and Zultanite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Linarite and Zultanite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Linarite and Zultanite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Linarite is Not Available whereas that of Zultanite is Not Available.
