Norbergite and Monazite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Norbergite and Monazite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Norbergite and Monazite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Norbergite is 4.80-5.50 whereas that of Monazite is 4.80-5.50.
