Siderite and Morganite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Siderite and Morganite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Siderite and Morganite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Siderite is 2.71-2.90 whereas that of Morganite is 2.71-2.90.
