Pyrope and Selenite Specific Gravity

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