Poldervaartite and Unakite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Poldervaartite and Unakite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Poldervaartite and Unakite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Poldervaartite is 2.85-3.20 whereas that of Unakite is 2.85-3.20.
