Microlite and Heliotrope Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Microlite and Heliotrope Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Microlite and Heliotrope Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Microlite is 2.61 whereas that of Heliotrope is 2.61.
