Siderite and Kmmererite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Siderite and Kmmererite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Siderite and Kmmererite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Siderite is 2.60-2.64 whereas that of Kmmererite is 2.60-2.64.
