Padparadscha and Clinozoisite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Padparadscha and Clinozoisite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Padparadscha and Clinozoisite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Padparadscha is 3.21-3.38 whereas that of Clinozoisite is 3.21-3.38.
