Rutile and Geodes Specific Gravity

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