Magnetite and Liddicoatite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Magnetite and Liddicoatite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Magnetite and Liddicoatite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Magnetite is 3.02 whereas that of Liddicoatite is 3.02.
