Pyromorphite and Magnetite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyromorphite and Magnetite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyromorphite and Magnetite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyromorphite is 5.2 whereas that of Magnetite is 5.2.
