Scolecite and Moonstone Specific Gravity

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