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