Plasma and Tantalite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Plasma and Tantalite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Plasma and Tantalite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Plasma is 5.2 whereas that of Tantalite is 5.2.
