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