Prasiolite and Prismatine Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Prasiolite and Prismatine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Prasiolite and Prismatine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Prasiolite is 3.34 whereas that of Prismatine is 3.34.
