Rutile and Stolzite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Rutile and Stolzite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Rutile and Stolzite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Rutile is 2 whereas that of Stolzite is 2.
