Scorzalite and Citrine Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Scorzalite and Citrine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Scorzalite and Citrine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Scorzalite is 2.65 whereas that of Citrine is 2.65.
