Moissanite and Feldspar Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moissanite and Feldspar Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moissanite and Feldspar Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moissanite is 2.56-2.75 whereas that of Feldspar is 2.56-2.75.
