Rhodolite and Howlite Specific Gravity

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