Quartz and Clinohedrite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Quartz and Clinohedrite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Quartz and Clinohedrite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Quartz is 3.28-3.335 whereas that of Clinohedrite is 3.28-3.335.
