Sapphirine and Geodes Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sapphirine and Geodes Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sapphirine and Geodes Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sapphirine is Not Available whereas that of Geodes is Not Available.
