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