Neptunite and Fluorite Specific Gravity

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