Norbergite and Plumbogummite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Norbergite and Plumbogummite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Norbergite and Plumbogummite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Norbergite is 4.014 whereas that of Plumbogummite is 4.014.
