Schorl and Richterite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Schorl and Richterite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Schorl Vs Richterite during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Schorl is whereas that of Richterite is .
