Pyroxmangite and Moroxite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Pyroxmangite and Moroxite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Pyroxmangite and Moroxite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Pyroxmangite is 3.13-3.26 whereas that of Moroxite is 3.13-3.26.
