Pyrargyrite and Elaeolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrargyrite and Elaeolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrargyrite and Elaeolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrargyrite is 2.55-2.67 whereas that of Elaeolite is 2.55-2.67.
