Morganite and Cobaltite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Morganite and Cobaltite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Morganite and Cobaltite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Morganite is 6.3 whereas that of Cobaltite is 6.3.
