Pyrope and Hibschite Specific Gravity

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