Pyrite and Lehsunia Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrite and Lehsunia Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrite and Lehsunia Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrite is Not Available whereas that of Lehsunia is Not Available.
