Pollucite and Plasma Specific Gravity

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