Riebeckite and Diaspore Specific Gravity

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