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