Muscovite and Pyrope Specific Gravity

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