Moissanite and Trinitite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moissanite and Trinitite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moissanite and Trinitite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moissanite is Not Available whereas that of Trinitite is Not Available.
