Pectolite and Prase Specific Gravity

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