Montebrasite and Siderite Specific Gravity

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