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