Rossmanite and Glass Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rossmanite and Glass Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rossmanite and Glass Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rossmanite is 2.39-4.00 whereas that of Glass is 2.39-4.00.
