Rhodolite and Cassiterite Specific Gravity

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