Pyrite and Thulite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrite and Thulite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrite and Thulite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrite is 3.1 whereas that of Thulite is 3.1.
