Moissanite and Augite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moissanite and Augite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moissanite Vs Augite during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moissanite is whereas that of Augite is .
