Moissanite and Prasiolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moissanite and Prasiolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moissanite and Prasiolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moissanite is 2.65 whereas that of Prasiolite is 2.65.
