Pollucite and Moissanite Specific Gravity

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