Nepheline and Muscovite Specific Gravity

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