Rutile and Pearl Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rutile and Pearl Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rutile and Pearl Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rutile is 2.60-2.85 whereas that of Pearl is 2.60-2.85.
