Seraphinite and Simpsonite Specific Gravity

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