Mimetite and Ivory Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Mimetite and Ivory Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Mimetite and Ivory Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Mimetite is 1.70-2.00 whereas that of Ivory is 1.70-2.00.
