Moissanite and Hematite Specific Gravity

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