Orthoclase and Rhyolite Specific Gravity

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