Pyrope and Chambersite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyrope and Chambersite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyrope and Chambersite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyrope is 3.50 whereas that of Chambersite is 3.50.
