Rhodochrosite and Cryolite Specific Gravity

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